Riverruns N6201 II Gen Rotary Fly Tying Vise — 360° Rotation, Ultra Light, Green

Overview

Meet the Riverruns N6201 II Generation Rotary Fly Tying Vise, a compact, highly controllable tool built for long tying sessions. Its extendable rotary action keeps the hook centered as you rotate, helping you maintain balance and rhythm from wrap to wrap. The vivid green finish adds a bold touch to your bench and makes the vise easy to spot in a busy workspace.

Why it stands out

What sets this vise apart is the true rotary dual‑bearing design, which keeps the hook shank spinning on-axis for symmetry and a cleaner final tie. The tension is fully adjustable, moving from rock-solid to nearly frictionless, so you can tailor the feel to different materials and patterns without sacrificing control.

Durable build and hook range

Durability is built in—with hardened carbon steel jaws and a hard-chrome finish that resist wear while delivering strong grip. The vise handles hooks from size #28 to 5/0 without deformation or slip, making it versatile for tiny midges through larger patterns. Use the lever to open the jaws, then raise it to tighten; if needed, tweak the front screw to perfectly match the hook size.

Versatility and accessories

The bobbin cradle is a standout multipurpose feature. It can be used as a parachute tool by flipping it onto the vise stem and tightening, then positioning at the level you need. The table clamp includes protective pads to prevent marks on your mounting surface, helping you protect your work area during long sessions.

What’s in the box

Inside you’ll find the N6201 II Gen Rotary Vise, the versatile bobbin cradle, and a sturdy table clamp with protective pads. This setup is ready for immediate mounting on a desk or bench, with thoughtful components that support steady, controlled tying.

How to use (quick tips)

• Push the lever down to open jaws and insert the hook; raise the lever to secure.
• Adjust the front screw to match jaw opening to the hook size.
• Rotate with a steady cadence to maintain center alignment and even wraps.

Notes and user considerations

As with any tool, results depend on technique and materials. Many anglers appreciate the combination of stable rotation, strong grip, and accessory versatility the Riverruns vise provides, which can support a wide range of tying tasks and patterns.
