Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Left Handed Fly Tyers

I am a lefty tyer and agree with Carl that some vices have levers on the side which can get in the way.  I like the traveler although I use another vice now for home tying (FNF).    I compensated for years (I started tying well before YouTube and taught myself from books) and am sure you also could manage but it is nice to have a vice that does not have a lever that gets in the way.

I would avoid spending renzetti dollars until you have been tying for a while.  I would get a vice that has the lever at the back of the head.  

Pop by  a fly shop or the beer tie and try a vise out.

I am left handed and looking to get into fly tying.  For the fly tying south paws out there, do you find it necessary to use a vise for a lefty?  

I am looking at the Renzetti traveler and see it comes in a LH and RH.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.
