Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

I, too, like the older bobbins and so far they have no problems. Yes, I simply put the hackle pliers on the end of the thread before I cut it off the fly. Saves thread and is so second nature now that I do it without thinking. Joyce On Sat, May 7, 2016 at 10:00 AM, 'Anthony Spezio' via VFB Mail <

Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

Speaking of bobbins. I have two of the old bobbins that I like better than the newer ones. They will stop and hold the thread in place. The newer ones seem to not have that stop and the thread will roll back all the way back to the spool. Easy fix is to just wrap the thread end on the button on

Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

I do have the smaller set, but I am a lazy one, so found that I really didn't need them unless I tied 24s, and as I can't see to tie them on, there is no need to tie them. I do 22's with no problem at all. I can say this, Norm is fantastic in his service. I have had to replace the O ring and he

Joyce is much better tier than me but I have found the midge jaws invaluable when tying small flies. Mike On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 4:50 PM, Joyce M Westphal wrote: > I have the standard set of jaws, never needed the smaller or bigger set > and I tie 22-24s and big 2/0s for

Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

I have the standard set of jaws, never needed the smaller or bigger set and I tie 22-24s and big 2/0s for salmon. These jaws hold everything well. Joyce On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Allan Fish wrote: > > > If you contact Norm direct, tell him you know me. > > Tony >

+I had an extra set of midge jaws new but sold them to a friend at one of the shows a year or two ago. If you contact Norm direct, tell him you know me.Tony On Thursday, May 5, 2016 2:58 PM, J Balmer wrote: #yiv7261584795 #yiv7261584795 -- _filtered #yiv7261584795

RE: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

The jaws that came w/ mine have worked very well for everything I’ve tied, including some very small midges & ants. I will probably get the smaller jaws @ some point, I rarely fish saltwater so I don’t tie bigger flies except for some muskie streamers. J From: 'Wayne Blake-Hedges' via

Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

Hi Tony; The one I'm buying has the saltwater jaws, never used and very reasonable price, cheaper than buying a factory new one an adding a set of jaws. Will have to email Scott, have not heard from him since before SowBug.  Wayne  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 3:01

Re: [VFB] RE:Norvise jaws

I bought mine with the big saltwater jaws but changed to the smaller jaws. I also have a set of midge jaws that I have not used yet. I do very little tying now so I don't use my Norvise very much.Wayne, Scott has a Norvise.Arkansas Tony On Thursday, May 5, 2016 2:01 PM, 'Wayne
