Thanks fellas for the ideas, I'll look at both of them. Either tying up more jigs or building my own vise will give me plenty to do during the long winter that only Fairbanks can have! Cheers, PK

The hooks are 10/0 and 12/0 respectively. They are used in conjunction with spire point style jigs in the 9 to 12oz range which means they have a huge (inch diameter) collar. A regular fly vise cannot handle the thickness of this size hook and I'm sure couldn't deal with the weight real effectively either.

Thanks, that is what I'm doing as well. I figured I'd throw it out there to see if 1. anyone is doing something better and 2. if any of those engineer types could think of a way to construct something like a fly tying vise but on a larger scale.

I am looking to figure a good way of tying oversized jigs. Basically I'm looking for a fly tying vise that could handle the weight of tying up jigs up to 16oz so it would have to be really stout. Any ideas? Something homemade that I could try?
