Dyna-King Fly-Tying Vises

Precision-Built Tools for Tyers Who Demand the Best

Founded in 1981 by Ron Abby in Cloverdale, California, Dyna-King has been a pillar in the world of professional and commercial fly-tying for more than four decades. What began as a pursuit to build the most accurate, durable vise on the market has evolved into a legacy of American machining, unparalleled stability, and lifetime reliability. If you tie flies with purpose, Dyna-King is the standard.

Today, Dyna-King is proudly produced in Montrose, Colorado, in the same facility as Ross Reels and Abel, under the Mayfly Outdoors family of brands. Each vise is hand-built, measured with exacting tolerances, and tested to ensure the smooth rotation, rock-solid hook grip, and ergonomic control that experienced tyers require.

Whether you’re cranking out winter steelhead intruders, delicate Tricos, or commercial-quantity buggers, Dyna-King vises give you industrial-grade performance in a compact, elegant machine designed to last a lifetime.

American-Built Excellence

Every Dyna-King vise is constructed by hand in Colorado using premium stainless steel, brass, and precision-machined components. This is not mass-produced hardware—each unit is inspected, tuned, and finished by expert craftsmen who understand the demands of serious fly-tying.

Designed for Working Tyers

Commercial tyers and professional designers trust Dyna-King for:

• Unmatched Hook Holding Power – patented jaw systems secure everything from tiny midges to saltwater hooks

• True-Rotary Functionality – effortless rotation for consistent bodies, dubbing control, and advanced techniques

• Lifetime Durability – engineered to outlast your tying desk

• Smooth, Precise Adjustability – tie faster, cleaner, and with less fatigue

Built to Last a Lifetime

A Dyna-King vise isn’t just a tool—it’s an heirloom. With meticulous machining, brass and stainless integrity, and rugged build quality, each model is built with the intention that you’ll tie on it for decades, and pass it along when you’re done.
