I am looking for some midge jaws for a renzetti traveler. I am starting to tie the little stuff an am having a hard time getting in there.

I know I can get them from the manufacture for $75.00:eek: that's a lot just for a set of jaws.

Anyone have some that their not using?:D
Anyone using them have a review/opinion?
Thanks, Jeff

I just bought a set of Renzetti Traveller cam jaws from Puget Sound Fly Company. (Awesome customer service, Anil! Thanks! I'm surprised you correctly recalled what I do for a living. That is so rare of a thing. I'm impressed.) Though these jaws were not the midge jaws, they can handle hooks from 4/0 to #28. Are you tying flies smaller than that? I didn't think you could buy hooks that small in Washington. For the #22's I have, I had to be in New Mexico to find them.

Unfortunately for you, I bought the last one they had. You might call them to see when they plan on getting another order. Good luck!

I'm tying down to 24's. But I'm having a hard time getting my hook set in them without putting to much pressure on them. Breaking hooks wile tying. Heck, it's just hard to set a hook in them.
