Troutslayer101 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2018 Ok, so I found out I need some Magnifying glasses or a Lamp to tie small flies. Wondering what you guys like to use. I thought a about a head lamp but not sure. I wear glasses now and my tying desk is also our dinner table (My wife will sometimes refer to my vise as her centerpiece). So I do have to pack things up and put stuff away sometimes. Thought about the Peak Light but 150 bucks is way more then what I want to spend. Prefer LED not mandatory.

Kimo 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2018 I'm with Flytire, but I also wear glasses.Didn't care for the large magnifying glass on a standbecause their is a sweet spot and with the clip onsthe sweet spot is always there. Also the magification is greater with the clip ons.Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cphubert 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 Normally wear glasses and I was lucky to find a OptiVisor head magnifier with a few sets of lenses at a tag sale. I like the OptiVisor or head worn approach with LED track lights above. Tried a mounted magnified lens on the light but could not get used to it between my vise and hands.
