I really like it, overall I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Pro's holds all hook sizes from a 2/0 to a 20! Once you get it clamped down, hooks don't move, great rotation, smooth as silk! Con's you really need to crank down on the hook, and leverage the dial to make it hold (but once you do it's great). Also the jaws aren't 100% immune to damage from hooks... the jaws are ever so slightly damaged from me cranking down on the hooks.
Hey man, getting ready for my first saltwater trip. What's your opinion on necessary casting distance? Quite comfortable double hauling and creating tight loops out to above 70-75 ft, can't go much past there with good consistency. Enough?
Back at it and sharing the wealth! Great instructions and fly. Cheers!
Thanks! I only share flies that catch fish!
Glad to see your videos again
Thanks! I only share when I have some new and interesting flies to share! 😃
Thats a nice tie. Question, how do you like that HMH vise? It looks really nice and sturdy.
I'm thinking of buying a new one, something similar to the HMH, any tips? I have an Apex Vise Anvil, but the jaw has already started to jam.

You'll have absolutely no troubles with that length of a cast! Enjoy and good luck!! Reach out to me on Instagram if you have other questions.
