Do you have this kit or use it? I’ve been looking at getting it and was wondering if the vise rotates 360 degrees?
Hey John,
I do have the kit. I was planning on putting up some pictures of some flies I’ve tied with it, but just haven’t gotten around to it. To answer your question, though, the vise is designed to rotate 360 degrees. You can loosen the grip and then rotate it around so that you can get to the bottom of the flies you’re tying up. Let me know if you have any other questions.
