Just got them from the PO five minutes ago. Very nice Flies!!

(Anvil Apex)

No its not a true rotary, even if you level the head its still off by the shank. Never used one but from 2nd hand knowledge, sounds like a solid vise.

A great vise at a great price, great customer service, true rotary, strong jaws and etc.. It would be my choice of the 3 vises.

I would go with a HMH over a Dyna King any day.

My favorite little stream.

Got a package of boobys today!! Great Ties. I must ask Rick where you got the eyes from?

Pheasant Tail Crayfish

Thread - 8/0 to 6/0 Brown

Hook - Mustad R74

Pheasant as Shellback and claws

Mono Eyes

Rib - Copper Wire

Body - A heavy brown dubbing mixed with ice dub.

A dumbell eye would help with get the fly down. I just use a sink tip.

This pattern was difficult to take pictures a certain steps.

OK, now I am confused. The swapmeister told me Altoids tins were OK to ship to Manitoba, and to include $3 or $4 U.S. for return postage, but to not use stamps. Now it appears they are not OK because of a slot. So what's the straight skinny, and what alternate container would you use to ship to Canada? Thanks, and go Pens!

Altoids will make it through the slot. It just depends on the thickness of the envelope. Its a 50/50 chance.

If its over sized I don't care about paying the extra dollar. Its not a big problem.

Going to have to try this with a rabbit pelt.

I'm in the states right now and I won't be back for a while. So i'll leave my addy here.

Shipping back to the states is about $4- 5 bucks. NO AMERICAN STAMPS FOR RETURN POSTAGE!!! IF YOUR POST OFFICE WORKER SAYS IT WILL WORK THEY'RE WRONG!

If you have any questions just pm me and I'll ty to get back to you ASAP.

Thx

Didn't want to start a new topic so I thought I would post here.

How small is the baby legs alive rubber legs? I'm looking for some thin rubber legs for boatmen and dragonflies.

Q

Is it really stiff?

A pic would really be helpful.
