This is the Palmer, our handheld fly tying vise. We at Hermit want you to be able to tie anywhere, anytime. Is it then in the comfort of your home, on the train to your next fly fishing adventure or by the river when you really want to match the hatch. 

 
 
 

How the Palmer works

  1. Place the Palmer’s spine along the bottom of your fingers with the jaw covering your index finger. Close your middle, ring and pinky finger. Now you are ready to tie. With your thumb and index finger you can hold down materials while you tie. 

  2. Adjust the front bolt clockwise so that the hook is firmly secured to the jaws.

  3.  Finish the hook fastening by adjusting the back bolt clockwise to reach the secure hook tenison.

  4. If you want to take a break or put down the Palmer to prep materials just tie a turn around the spring on the bottom to keep the tension on your thread. Just rewind to keep tying.
