A proven design for many years, and one that professional and amateur fly tiers alike rely upon, the HMH Spartan, in a review on flyfisherman.com, was "highly recommended" as a tremendous deal in a traditional, versatile fly tying vise.

A real workhorse made to last, the vise features draw collet jaws of chrome-moly tool steel, investment cast, precision machined, hand finished, and then hardened. The Orvis edition features a nickel-plated cam lever and green base. Optional micro (for hook sizes 20 to 32), or magnum jaws (for saltwater hooks up to 10/0). C-clamp version opens to a 2" gap.
