Hareline Griffin Odyssey Spider Cam Vise

What it is

The Hareline Griffin Odyssey Spider Cam Vise is a bench fly-tying vise built around steel jaws and an aluminum C-clamp base. It’s a true rotary vise with smooth 360-degree rotation, so you can turn the hook to any angle for access and viewing. The jaws use a cam-lock with a quick-throw cam action to clamp down securely across a wide range of hook sizes.

What to tie with it

This vise shines when you want to rotate the fly to wrap materials evenly, like ribbing, wire, and dubbing, without constantly repositioning your hands. The quick cam action makes batch hook changes fast when you’re tying multiples. With its wide hook-size range, it’s at home on everything from small hooks to larger hooks and even shanks.

Flies and the fish they're for

A true rotary, cam-lock vise like this is a workhorse for tying the full spread: small trout flies for rivers and tailwaters, and larger streamers for species like smallmouth and stripers in rivers and lakes. It also handles saltwater-style hooks for flies commonly tied for redfish and sea trout on the flats, where stout hooks and fast production matter. If you’re tying in batches and want to rotate the fly for clean wraps and consistent bodies, this is the kind of vise setup that supports that pace across both freshwater and salt.
