Thread: Wanting input on new tying vise.

I would talk to Skip (skiptomylu) he can give you all the info and help you need. He also sells them and would treat you fair.

I've been using a Regal since 85' - right now my favorite is the stainless steel version. Think I have more than 200 vises in my collection and IMO the Regal is the most user friendly.

I hear good things about the Regal LedHed is talking about and I also here good things about the Griffin Montana Mongoose, but I have never tied on either of them. I have a Renzetti Saltwater Traveler and is a very good vise and in a decent price range for a good vise and I use mine as my back up because I had it when I saw the vise I tie on which is the Nor-Vise, but they are quite costly. Of the ones we have talked about the Mongoose is a little less than all these. The Peak I have not mentioned is a great vise for the money, probably the best vise at that price.The best Regal is a lot higher cost than the Renzetti SW Traveler so I would take a long loom at it! Much of what you want to do being next to a fly shop is put your hands on these different vises and see what feels right to you.

Now this is pretty old info, but a good way to look at the vises.

You have opened a topic that will give you a great deal of input here
Seems you already have an advantage being close to a fly tying shop
There are a lot of advantages to a rotating vise in more ways than one
Selecting one could lead to how serious one would allow himself
from quality, to cost, to filling ones needs for tying
With a wide selection to choose from
Might I suggest you try and get a hands on at your fly tying shop and go from there

Thanks guys for the quick responses. I will go to the fly shop and talk to the guys there. Why didn't I think of that! I guess it's like asking directions
