Loon Outdoors Vise Pawn

The Vise Pawn features a magnetic base that clamps or rests securely against the stem of most standard fly tying vises. Because it relies on magnetism, it is designed to be easily repositioned along the stem to accommodate different fly sizes and tying styles.

Yes, the magnet is quite powerful and is specifically designed to hold common fly tying materials like hackle, tinsel, and ribbing. While it handles standard wire well, extremely heavy gauge materials may require careful placement to ensure they stay put.

The magnet is localized to the Vise Pawn itself, so it shouldn't interfere with your tools unless they are placed directly against the magnet. It is a helpful way to keep your workspace tidy, but you should keep your hooks and needles a few inches away to avoid accidental attraction.

It is compatible with most rotary vises, but placement is key. You will want to mount it on the stem below the rotary head so that it stays stationary while you rotate the hook, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your range of motion.

Absolutely. The magnetic surface is large enough to hold several strands of hackle, tinsel, or ribbing simultaneously. It is an excellent way to stage your materials before you tie them in.
