Saltwater fly adaptor.
I thought I would share my saltwater fly adaptor for my woodworking bench....hahahahhahaha.
Its called a C-clamp in the end vise. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psid47ntit.jpg been working on some dressed siwash and flags. Sometimes I have thought about buying a real vise, but I dont see the point. I have one for tying trout flies....seems like a waste to buy one for just a few saltwater hooks each season. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psvq7giwq3.jpg One other thing I have been doing is recycling my trebles...the rusties. I use them for the base of my dressed flags.... Gives them a second life....hanging off the tail end of my plugs. Cut all the hooks off accept the welded hook. This orients the flat eye up and you put the welded hook in the vise. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psmbiqoo2o.jpg the flat sides make it easy to add in the bucktail. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psztqlo7v9.jpg throw some on top and your done. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ps0zq2vbse.jpg There is a little extra weight in these as there are three wires from the trebles instead of one. I figure it works to ballance out the plug if it supposed to have a regular hook off the back. Use the untrimmed hook to hang the flag until the epoxy dries...then trim it off. Sometimes, I do leave all the wire on the trebles...but straighten them out so the there is no hook bend...just a stack of wire. If balance is a concern...this will not sacrifice weight. |
