Fly Product...Peak Rotary Vise

Theres nothing new about it other than a few recent accessories that have been added within the last three years. But like the saying goes, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." Peak, in my mind, has perfected the rotary vise. Many will agree, many will argue. When I upgraded two years ago from my Bass Pro vise, it was the best move I made, from an upgrade of gear standpoint, in my entire career of fly fishing.

I realized the other day while cranking out a few bugs, that I haven't really talked about my Peak or shown appreciation to the company for making such a quality product. From the "every so often" tier that puts out two dozen flies a year, to me, who puts out anywhere from 300-600 flies a year, to Pat Cohen (RU Superfly), who puts out (by my estimate) 3,000-6,000 flies a year...this vise can stand the test. Pat has been on the Peak team for quite some time now, and if I'm not mistaken, he's had the same vise the entire time...thats insane.

With loads of accessories and upgrades available, this vise is ideal for any tier, salt or fresh. I have most attachments that I've collected over the years for birthdays or Christmas presents and have used them all, a lot. I've had a lot of friends switch to the Peak over the last few years based on suggestion and a recognition of my live for my Peak. Its an awesome vise.

So check it, the Peak Rotary vise, my favorite piece of fly fishing equipment...

Via Peak Fishing:

This is the vise that started it all, the PEAK Rotary 

Vise.  Designed for optimal tying efficiency and ease 

of adjustment and set-up.  Materials (including 

Stainless Steel, Brass, Tool Steel, and Aircraft 

Aluminum) are chosen to last a lifetime of tying.  

Hardened and tempered tool steel jaws hold hooks, 

from size 2/0 (depending on exact hook wire 

diameter) down to the smallest you can buy, securely.  

All adjustments are accomplished with minimal 

effort.  The large stable pedestal base (PRV-G2 

model) will hold this vise where you set it, and the 

non-marking feet protect the surface you set it on.  

The steel base is powder coated in white, for a surface 

that will stand up and provide a backdrop you can see 

your materials against.  The base also includes an 

integrated hook/bead pocket with rounded edges for 

ease of removal, and our accessory post mounting 

hole (accessory post not included).  The base is 

designed to pack flat for travel with the vise removed. 

  The rotation resistance adjustment screw provides 

infinite adjustment and is easily manipulated for right 

or left handed tyers.  A height and length adjustable 

bobbin cradle and pivot mount are supplied with the 

vise.  Loosening a single set screw allows the vise to 

be removed for travel, the brass tip on the set screw 

prevents marring the vise shaft.

DISCLAIMER - I was in no way paid or given anything for this post. I don't even think Peak will see it. I simply wanted to show my appreciation for this awesome piece of equipment that has helped me grow as a fly fisherman and fly tier.
