1. When applying dubbing remember to use your rotary action, this allows you to always
be in eye-contact with the area you are wrapping.
2. The secret to palmering a hackle by rotary is the half hitch. After tying in the hackle,
wrap your thread to the point at which you wish to stop the hackle. Then apply a half
hitch. Hang the bobbin from the bobbin cradle. As the hackle is palmered the thread
will roll with the hook. At the end of the palmer let your hackle pliers hang. Pick up the
bobbin, swing the cradle out of the way and tie off the hackle.
3. Remember that a rotary vise makes all sides of your fly viewable by using the rotary
feature of your vise.
For more rotary tying techniques ask your retailer for the Renzetti Rotary Tying Tips video.
Improper Hook Placement
Voids Warranty
1. The most important step of rotary tying is proper positioning
of the hook in the jaw.
2 Always place the hook in the jaw so that the shank of the
hook rotates on the center line of the rotary shaft as shown
in detail 1, detail 2, and detail 3.
3. As hook size increases be sure to place the hook deeper in
the jaws as shown in detail 2 and detail 3
.
3. Never try to hold large hooks at the extreme tip of the jaw
as shown in detail 4. This practice will cause premature
failure of the jaw clamping faces.
4. By placing the shank of the hook close to the center line of
the vise an even distribution of materials is possible.

See detail 6.
3: To clamp the hook swing the cam to the clamp position. See detail 5.
Note
: There is no need
to exert alot of force on the cam. Simply clampthe hook and test to see if it moves. If it does,
apply a little more force on the cam. Over clamping of hooks can cause the hook to break.

Note: Do not rotate cam more than 90 Deg. to the jaws(see detail 10) this will
result in less holding power and make it difficult to release the hook.
