Apex Anvil review

[Sockeye guy 0]

Well i finaly took the plunge and bought a new vise. I just tied a some flies on my new Apex Anvil and i must say i am in love with it. It grips hooks so well you could bend even a heavy hook in half. This vise is built like a tank to say the least. Its a beast that will allow you to tie even the smallest of flies with finesse. The rotary function is great and though i dont use it like a rotary vise its great to be able to rotate to check your fly or add a dab of glue. The cam is very forgiving for hook size. It does not require a lot of tweeking between different hook sizes. It came with a base that is sturdy and solid as well as a C clamp. I can tell i just bought a vise my kids wont wear out after i am gone. I got it for 70.00 from flyfishing dicounters on line. they were outstanding to work with!! I also found a place to buy my supplies online. the prices are great and service was world class. Overall i would rate it a solid 9.5 I could not be more pleased.

Its also made in the USA!

I absolutely love mine. Little tight on the rotary at first but seems to be loosening up. Absolutely NO complaints. Would buy again in heartbeat and recommend to anyone. If you're in Ft. Wayne, IN , come try it.

Love my new Apex! John you can loosen the rotary set screw just a touch (back of vise) to rotate smoother, not too much as there is a groove inside that it rides in.
