Where did you get your vise? And is it a C-Clamp? I want one that I can have the clamp and the pedestal base to it.

I think it was the Mudhole but don't remember for sure. I will try to find it. A simple search gives me at least 10 places to get it for less than $50. It is a C clamp style but I imagine you could find something heavy enough to make it into a stand alone base style.

Got my mudhole catalog and the vise is $39.95 for the rotating vise.

I was talking to a very experienced trout guide recently, and he told me the same thing -- said he uses his for everything from small trout nymphs all the way up to big saltwater flies.

I got my new vise today, but I'm mad the post office looks like they dropped the box and ran over it, and so I opened it and my vise is BROKE!!!! So I called the people I got it from and they are sending me another one, and I can keep the broke one, not sure what I'm gonna do w/ a broke vise?!?

Don't get rid of it for sure! If you wear out the jaws of the vise you should be able to put the set from the broken one in. ;) It is supposed to take the beating, but I went through a set of jaws just because I didn't know better when I started and was setting them to clamp too tight. :o

I got a lesson on that today.lol.I was tightening way to tight,on a knob that did not even need tightening,lol.I'm straight now.

Go with the Peak!

Long after yiu have forgoten the money you will be enjoying the beneftis of using a 'well made tool'.
