PEAK PNRV Midge Jaw – Rotary Vise Jaw Replacement

I’ve been using these midge jaws for several months now and they’ve made a noticeable difference when tying small dry flies. The black oxide finish looks clean and the profile allows me to access the hook more easily. Works perfectly with my MDG-1 rotary vise.

The fit is tight and secure. I appreciate the improved access for smaller hooks. I’ve only used them with #16 and under, which matches the recommendation. No issues so far with durability or finish.

Great replacement for my standard jaws. The black oxide gives a sleek look and reduces glare. I use them daily for tying small nymphs and the profile makes it easier to position the hook properly.
