SalarMan 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2022 I tried to send these photos to DFoster, but no can do via a PM. Then after thinking about it I thought some of my other fellow HMH TRV users might also want to take advantage of what I did to my vise. I wasn't thrilled with any attempts to add a material clip that was rock steady and fit my TRV. I was looking at the setup on my Renzetti Master and realized I could probably put that clip to use. So...I bought one from Renzetti, opened the hole on the flat metal part just a wee bit and voila...it did the trick. Works like a charm!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protects from damaging the silk floss in the tip/tag area as well as the floss that may be part of the main body. I've also stuck my fingers once or twice in the past...but not now😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I 've been hanging materials that are long enough over the tension screw but I like your idea way better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2022 Dean - You don't even need a new tension screw. The clip is in that position because it works in that spot for me. I just push down on the near edge and it opens up the spring, I put the desired material in place and then continue going about my business of tying. - George Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2022 Good for you George! I’m really glad that after all your searching and mods you finally seem to have found the “one” vise for you. I truly hope that you’re river fishing days are not over yet. I would really love to see photos of you with a few of your recent HMH ties stuck in the mouth of a salmon. Never say never and prayers for that day my friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
