                            MP-Vise
      
The Ferrari of fly-tying vises

Marc Petitjean has designed a fly-tying vise with propeties, which charm even a old-timer in fly-tying. MP-Vise is made by swiss Marryat. In a packet of three pound there is loaded so many functions, that learning to use the MP-Vise takes some time. Lucky, with the purchase of the Vise You get a video, where Marc shows the basic functions and the finesses.

                  

The vise and all the parts of it are packed in a box, which can be packed in a strong canvas bag.

Because the weight of the vise is only three pounds, it is easy to take the vise with You on fishing-trips. The box is the base, but there is c-clamp to fasten the vise in a table. Two arms, the straight and the extension arm allow You to choose the possition in which You tie. All the parts of the MP-Vise have fast-lock systems, this means, You can turn the vise to which ever possition. This is a very handy propety especially when tying salmon-flies and have to check the symmetry of wings.

There is three different jaws: small for flies #32-4, large for #8-9/0 and jaws with special pins to tie tube flies. To change the jaws to another type takes only few seconds. The hook-jaws have groowes designed for each hook shape. First You lock the hook with the cam helping with the nut, then You fasten the hook tight with the jaw-screw.

                          


Extra tools are the parachute and bobbin rest arms. With these
You can make even own dubbing-brushes.

                           


The vise arm can be set on four different angles. This makes the nicest property of MP-Vise: the True Rotatory. The hook shank is always horisontal, the possiton is not depending on turning round the vise arm.

                     

MP-vise is a perfect tool for a fly-tyer, but like Ferrari there is a small disadvantage: the price. In USA the price of the MP-Vise is about 390 $. There is still a positive point, when You purchase this luxory vise. You get a tool worth every dime You have paid.
