There is a discussion on FAOL about vises right now - Vises - They tie alot more of smaller flies than most crappie jigs, but there is some good info. Hope this helps.

It is probably the best true rotary that is under $100, but it does have a lot of plastic parts. I had one for the first year I tied and then got a Renzetti Saltwater Traveler (little higher than the regular Traveler, like $210), but that was not enough I bought a Nor-Vise and still use a love it a lot (however it's cost is really high). I do really like the Peak I sell too as it is made like a tank, heavy and well made and probably wouldn't have bought the Renzetti if I had known about the Peak then, actually 4 since I have 2 Nor-vises and I also have several conversion kits for my Nor. Man you can spin that thing for lots of great things, even just wrapping your thread on, but if you ever do dubbed bodies nothing I have seen will hold up with a Nor. I not only do dubbed bodies on flies, but sometimes I do jigs like that too.

However I like all my vises I have now and will tie on any of the 3, I did sell my Danvise.

I got a rotating Terra vise and it is a good one in my opinion. All metal parts and under $75. The vise I had before was a terra, simple and cheap one and I finally wore it out after 15 years of use and neglect and a couple hundred thousand ties. I could probably replace the washers and stuff and tie another half a million with it.

I think I paid $48 for my rotating vise and prices still range in the $45-50 range.

Fish,
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.

Oh man when I first tried to tie jigs my parents bought me one of the old Worth Jig tying kits!!!!! That came with a cheap little vise of two metal bars that closed by a screw.

Then I graduated to a Herters #9, then a Thompson Model A. Most of my tying now is done on a Dyna King Kingfisher and for my needs of tying flies and jigs I love it. Since then my daugher bought me a another brand new in the box Thompson Model A she found at a Swap store in Michigan for $5 bucks.

Anyone who needs parts for the Old Thompsons can go to here:
