Stonfo Profile Plate art. 542
The Stonfo Profile Plate art. 542 is a practical fly tying vise accessory that provides a high-contrast background behind the fly while tying. Featuring a double-sided matte surface with black and white backgrounds, it allows you to instantly choose the best contrast for the materials you're working with, improving visibility and reducing eye strain during long tying sessions.
The plate features a magnetic mounting system that allows it to be quickly rotated between the black and white sides without removing it from the vise. Its non-reflective matte finish eliminates glare from tying lights, making it easier to work with fine materials, delicate threads, and small hooks. The attachment fits fly tying vises with an 8–10 mm stem diameter.
Made in Italy, the Stonfo Profile Plate art. 542 is a valuable addition to any fly tying workstation, providing better visual contrast, greater comfort, and improved precision whether you're tying tiny dry flies or large streamers.
