Incredibly rare, collectible, and complete Roberto Pragliola Modular Rotary Fly Tying Vise System System - Complete with Signed Pedestal & C-Clamp (Florence, Italy). Custom-machined in small batches in Florence, Italy, by the legendary pioneer of the TLT (Tecnica di Lancio Totale) casting method, Pragliola’s tools are celebrated by angling historians for their distinct Italian craftsmanship, beautiful machining, and modular functionality.
This is a premium, complete desktop and travel kit that features both original anchoring options, making it a highly coveted find for bench tiers and vintage fly fishing gear collectors alike.
Included in This Kit:
The entire system is in excellent, vintage condition. The mechanical adjustments turn smoothly, the brass collets lock tightly, and the cosmetic markings (both the stamped engraving on the C-clamp and the gold crest on the pedestal base) are crisp and fully intact. The vise has been well cared for in a smoke-free tying room.
