The NIRVANA Rotary Vise V2 has exceptional rotary function. Combining some of our favorite fly vise features into one vise we were able to create a vise that highly out functions its price point. This new V2 model has improved functionality, longevity, and added a material clip as well.

Fly tying vise jaws hardened steel

Strong Durable Jaws
The vise jaws are made of a hardened tool steel that will last the long run and hold hooks tight. 

Fully Adjustable For A Wide Range Of Hook Sizes
The hook size adjustment knob on the front of the jaws allows you to go from holding very small hooks down in the 20s to hooks up in the 2/0 size (or bigger) with a few turns.

The hook lever at the back side of the jaws tightens the jaws down very tight on the hook so it won't move. 

Smooth Rotary Bearing System With Fully Adjustable Tension
The quality bearing system on this vise makes the rotary motion very smooth for excellent performance.

The adjustable knob on the side of the vise controls the tension on the rotary motion on the vise. You can go from no free spinning, to light tension for more control, to tight tension for moving the vise to different anglers for easier tying. 

Rotary vise handle

Easy-to-Use Rotary Handle Gives You More Control
Many vises don't have a full handle for rotating the vise but the NIRVANA rotary vise does! We feel like this feature is a big deal and it is something that most everyone mentions they love when you first use this vise. This gives you smother control when rotating the vise to wrap wire, ribbing, dubbing, or other materials. We promise you will love this handle if you use the rotary function often.

Lots Of Open Space To Work With Materials
The large "V" shape of the vise arm and the jaws leaves you with a big open space behind the hook to work with materials with nothing in the way. 

Fly Vise Material Clip

Material Clip (removable)
The material clip adds a spring to put your materials through to keep them out of the way until you need them. This is especially nice for body material, ribbing & wire, or streamer materials. 

Adjustable Arm Angle
The Arm is adjustable so you can move it up or down to easily create the best center axis for you hook when rotating the vise, for the best position for wrapping of materials. 

Bobbin Rest Included
The bobbin rest is included with the vise so you can get the thread bobbin out of the way when wrapping materials, ribbing, and wire. 

Premium Pedestal Base Included
The pedestal base is a larger aluminum base with grooves made in it to hold flies you've tied, beads, or hooks. The wider and thicker size of the base makes it very stable so you don't get teetering issues. The grooves help to keep everything neat and organized. The pedestal base is very portable so you can take your vise with you anywhere when traveling. 

Fly Tying Vise Base

This base also has a special knob bolt that allows you to really crank it tight fully secure your vise stem so it will not rotate around at all at this connection at all. 

An Excellent Vise At An Even Better Price! 
There are not many great rotary vises available under $160, THIS VISE FILLS THAT GAP with a lot of excellent features that work great!

Shaft Diameter
The shaft 9.8mm (about 0.386 inches).


Why is a rotary vise important to tying flies?
Using the rotary function of a vise does a few things for you.  First thing is it will speed up your tying for each individual fly.  The rotary creates more uniform and better proportions.  Proportions in tying is vitally important.  The fact that this is a center axis makes an even bigger impact.  This can be more easily seen when wrapping wire bodies.  Wrapping wire bodies is a dream and breeze with this center axis.

Weak

After many months and literally hundreds of flies tied, I have come to the conclusion that this vise is rather weak and not worth the money. 1) It does not handle smaller hooks very well - i.e. size 18 or smaller. 2) I found it difficult to manually adjust the settings. I needed pliers to fully tighten things down and still it’s not tight enough. 3) I found the base to be much too light to handle the load of simple fly-tying tasks. I was forced to buy a heavier base. 4) The vise wobbles while I use it - unacceptable. 5) …and it’s feels cheap. I feel I wasted my $$.

Still learning to use it

The Nirvana rotary vise is much different than the one I've used for 40+ years... a Thompson vise. So, my fingers are getting used to it. Simple setup. It has worked great for the 10s, 14s, 16s, and 18s I've tied to date (Perdigons, beadhead nymphs, jig and straight hooks). Holds the hooks solidly. All the adjustable features are great and work just as advertised. Not used to using a bobbin caddy to hold the thread aside while I wind on material. It gets in the way sometimes but sometimes it is very helpful. Maybe at some point, I will rate this vise as a 5 star... just let me use it for a season and we'll see. I haven't thrown out the Thompson but the Nirvana adds a lot of versatility not available with the Thompson.

Great vise!

I've been trying with this vise for about 6 months now and I'm still very impressed with it. It has a very substantial base and an attractive finish on the metal. It is solid and has held up great.
I shopped around a bit before I bought this one and I don't think you can get anything for less than 200 that competes with it.

Great vise for money. I’ll stick with my Renzetti for every day but this will be for travel and the occasional guest. Great turnaround on delivery. Thanks
