Guest Report post Posted January 21, 2005 I have done that Jonas and what you're going to find is that your hand is going to get cramps. I don't know how those people did it all day long. it hurts after a while. A good exercise though, and worth the effort, even if just once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArkieFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2005 TroutBum, Do you use a vice when tying hot glue eggs? (I gotta try that sometime. Mine will probably look scrambled..... ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 21, 2005 TrouBum summed it up well. It's fun 'cause it's kinda neat to sit on the couch watching television while whipping out nymphs in your lap but sooner or later... EYOW!!! That cramp will kick in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyrotten 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2005 Has anyone tried a pen vice? It looks to be fun also. Kinda like tying with the hook in your hand just without the cramps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2005 The first fly I ever tied was with out a vice. Never again. I was only a child and I still got cramps. The fly was no good and needed to be retied. It almost made me cry but I did it and the fly turned out alright. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HFT 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 It is funny you would bring this subject up today. I was asked to tie a fly on a 14/0 hook, Well that is to big for any vise so I had my secratary hold the hook while I tied it today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayhawk Jeff 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 Why cramps? Just jam the hook into your middle finger and tie away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
