Questions & Answers

My husband is a lefty who prefers to write with his left hand. Is he going to be able to tie something with his left hand?

Due to the item's C2203- designation, I expected to find a C2203-R (R stands for right-handed). Neither L nor I did. I did, however, tie a couple of flies with my C2203-style fly tying kit. R, but with the fly on the left, to make an "L" (for left-handed). Only one adjustment knob was different, which is used after the vise has been adjusted. That knob is on the "far" side of the vertical shaft when it is reversed. Reaching over the top is still not a major issue. I spoke with a left-handed friend who ties right-handed because nearly all of the demos are performed by right-handed people. Aside from that, I don't think it's an issue. It all boils down to what you've become accustomed to and how well you've practiced.

How do I get a left-handed version of this?

It does not appear to be available in a left-handed version. Because most demos are performed that way, one of my acquaintances ties right handed.

How big of a hook can this vise hold? Is it true that I tie flies in the size of 6/0?

Selected User Reviews For Renzetti Traveler 2200 Cam Series Vise C2203-R

There are two things about this vise that I dislike: first, the base is too light; yes, I understand it's a travel vise, but the option for a different or heavier base should be added
4/5

Second, the knobs appear to loosen up far too easily; the spinning handle comes loose every time I tie a fly. I've adjusted it a hundred times to get the tension just right, but it never seems to stay put. I've tried everything I can think of to get these knurled knobs to work, but it's not working. It's possible that the nylon washers are simply too slippery. Aside from that, it's a great vise; the jaws can hold any size fly you want and it won't move once you've set it. Because I mostly tie largemouth bass flies, I'm a little heavier than the average fly tier, but the vise is up to the task.

Excellent quality, lightweight, and convenient to transport
5/5

I'd been using my old vise for about 15 years, and the jaws were starting to fail, and there were no replacements. I chose the Traveler 2200 Cam Series after doing some research. It's of excellent quality, holds hooks securely, and is simple to disassemble for travel. I'm very pleased.

It was exactly what I was looking for
5/5

After reading a previous review, I was a little concerned about the Traveler's weight, but I don't think it's excessively light. It's a good vice; there are a few adjustments to make, but once they're set, everything works perfectly.

This was a present for my father on Father's Day. He is extremely pleased with it and enjoys the way it works. This is a great tool for tying flies.

Perfect in every way
3/5

Perfect in every way, with excellent construction and long-lasting materials, but I believe it is overpriced (as are many other fly-tying tools).
