The Traveler Series fly tying series cam vise was first introduced in 1988, and is our number one selling fly tying vise at the Platte River Fly Shop. The Traveler offers True Rotary feature Renzetti Inc is known for, as well as portability, unquestionable hook holding power and an affordable price. The T2000 Traveler Series vise as it was called back then have gone thru some major changes. From a T2000 Traveler Non Cam Jaw to a C2000 Traveler Series with Cam jaw. It was not until almost 20 years later that the most dramatic change took place, when we introduced the Traveler 2200 Series Vises. While still we offered the great features of a True Rotary Vise, the Traveler 2200 offered more comfort and longer lasting finish. We added a 7" stem to the base model, all aluminum parts were anodized, and a polyurethane jaw o-ring added longer wear to your tying need. We did not compromise in quality nor did we cut corners with this vise. Our goal was to continue to offer the beginner as well as the experience tyer a True Rotary vise that will challenge her or him as well as offer a long lasting piece of equipment.

Renzetti Inc., is a family owned business that started its operations in Romansville PA in the early 70's. I started making fly tying hand tools in a one car garage. Frustrated with the fly tying vises that were available at the time, I started working on the Presentation 3000 with the input and support of my brother Robin, that was not the first vise designed by Renzetti, however it was the first True Rotary vise made. Since its beginning, the Presentation 3000 became the vise of choice of the elite and at a retail price of $199.95 it was the most expensive vise available. By 1977 my hobby had become a part time job, and in 1978 I resigned full time job to open Renzetti Custom Machine's doors in a now 3 car garage. Eight years later, a new manufacturing facility was build and in 1988 Renzetti Inc, as it in know today, was formally introduced.
Since the early 70's Renzetti's hand tying tools and fly tying vises were seldom mostly heard of and very few shops were carrying it. The Orvis Company was my first retailer and where I met my long time friend John Harder. By the late 80's the Traveler and the Presentation Series Vises were introduced and Renzetti started attending the consumer and manufacturing shows. By attending these shows I was able to be in direct contact with many tyers from around the world and listen to their feedback and suggestions.
In 1996, tired of the long cold winters in Pennsylvania I moved with my family and Lois and Ed, two of our key associates to Titusville, FL., and Renzetti Inc. found a new home at 8800 Grissom Pkwy.
Renzetti Inc. currently employees 10 associates, including myself, Lily and our 18 year old son. We have a well trained, wonderful, caring staff that makes everything possible. Our primary business is the manufacturing of the finest fly tying and rod building equipment in the world, but we also provide engineering and manufacturing services to many other industries around the country. Renzetti, Inc. owns many patents and trademark and was the first fly tying vise manufacturer to offer a True Rotary Vise.

The Renzetti Traveler 2000 is everything your would expect from one of the top names in fly vises. No surprise there, but the really impressive part of the transaction was the service from Platte River Fly Shop. I ordered the vise on Monday and it arrived Thursday and they were cheaper than everybody else online. These guys give Amazon Prime a run for their money.
I am fairly new to fly tying, but I wanted to up my game from my cheap starter vise. Renzetti has a reputation for quality and they do not disappoint. This vise is well designed and versatile. The rotary feature is a real plus. I was especially pleased with Platte River Fly Shop's customer service. The communication was thorough and the shipping was incredible fast. I look forward to doing business with them again.
I was looking for a new pedestal vise, and kept hearing the name "Renzetti." When I finally looked into the vises, I could tell that the vises were of quality, and it was a very trusted name. So, I opted to get one, and man, am I pleased! Just by the sheer weight of the product, I could tell this was going to be a very durable product. Also, these vises have a rotary feature, which is VERY different from my started kit clamp on vise that I previously owned. This vise is very useful with the rotary feature, the vise grip to hold the hook is very easy to use, and very accurately holds hook sizes from large articulated hooks, to size 20s (at least, maybe even smaller). Awesome vise, 10/10 would recommend to a friend. I have been a tying fiend ever since I have bought this product.
The rotary function makes tying faster, easier and neater. Very simple to set up, operate and change hooks.
I started out tying on a traveler when I was 14 ten years ago and still tying on the same vise today. There are certainly better vises out there to tie on but for the money you can't beat the Renzetti Traveler Vise.
I like how solid this vise is, I have no problem holding my 2/0 and 4/0 hooks. I am new to tying and this vise really helps in enjoying and not fighting the vise. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Vice looks great, but this review is about service. I ordered this vice on Friday and I was tying on it Monday night. And I live in Ohio. Great order handling!
