Automatic Bobbin

An amazing innovation, it automatically retracts instantly to the correct tying position yet will remain suspended from the hook where released. The Automatic Bobbin is the perfect thread management tool. Whether you are using a NOR-VISE or any other vise this bobbin will improve, simplify, and speed up your fly tying.

Bobbin Spools

These precision machined aluminum bobbin spools fit the Norlander Automatic Bobbin. Many fly tiers using a variety of working threads find it economic to simply change spools rather than have a separate bobbin for each thread. These spools will hold from 50 to 500 yards of thread, depending on its size (diameter), it is best not to "overfill them. Winding in a set direction is not critical as the spools can be "turned around" on the bobbin. A marking pen can be used on the side of the spool to identify the thread type or size. A rubber band around the thread on the spool can be used to keep it from unraveling when stored.

* These bobbin spools are the identical with those as part of the "Automatic Bobbin Kit".
* Bobbin spools are available in a package of three spool or a box of ten spools.

Small In-Line Conversions

This is the "Standard" and most popular configuration for the NOR-VISE. It is considered the best for all-around performance and often thought of as the "Fresh Water" version of the vise.

The conversion includes both the solid brass front and rear hubs,and the heat treated cam operated stainless steel jaws. The jaw surfaces are smooth (not serrated or grooved) so they will not damage delicate hooks or the finish on the hooks yet they hold extremely well without slipping.

This version of the vise is capable of handling very large as well as very tiny hooks, literaly any hook size, or type you would like to tie on. Hooks are easily aligned and will spin smoothly with a minimum amount of vibration.

Large In-Line Conversions

This is the same design concept as the Small In-Line Jaws but larger. Normally used by those who tie predominately really big flies, it is the favorite of the Salt Water fly tiers and those who tie weighted jigs. The conversion include larger front and rear hubs as well as larger stainless steel cam lever jaws.

It is possible to tie very tiny hooks with this configuration however the significant advantage of the Large In-Line Jaw system is with the more massive solid brass hubs. They will provide more inertia or "momentum" when spinning which is very useful for applying lots of material onto large hooks, epoxy work, deer hair trimming etc.

$95.00

Fine Point Conversions

The Fine Point Conversion utilizes the same cam lever jaw concept as the In-Line configurations however the jaws are tapered to a "Fine Point" and supported with an adjustable arm at an angle. This allows for better "access" to the hooks for tying "around the bend" as well as facilitates "pinching" materials while securing them to the hook.

$95.00

Tube Fly Conversions

The new NOR-VISE Tube Fly Conversion is designed to accommodate a very large variety of plastic, metal, and lined tubes as well as the new manufactured metal "Bottle Tubes" which are becoming quite popular. This is accomplished by use of a stainless steel mandrel which supports the tube and a Collet which will screw out and "squeeze" the tube from the ends. Alternatively the tube itself can be "clamped" directly into the collet support. The tube is perfectly centered and firmly held from slipping with excellent access.

The Tube Fly Conversion consists of a solid brass front hub, a collet support which incorporates a material holding spring, four collets, four support mandrels, instructions and an allen wrench.
