    In that range a Danvise is hard to beat.Look on Ebay,might even find one on the lower end of what you want to spend.

    Yes He is right, the best rotary under $100 is a Danvise!

    + 1 for the Danvise. I tie on one. Works great for crappie jigs. Just be very careful with the jaw tension adjustment. It comes with a video showing you how to set it up correctly. If you don't follow instructions, you will damage the jaws.
    Don't worry, catch crappie.

    I like my Terra vise. Rock solid construction and not a loose connection on it. I don't do much turning of chenille on it but it turns freely and smoothly.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    I also like the Terra vise. It does all I want to do. I use the action spring at Barlows, under Forty.

    Before paying big bucks - check out the fly tying sites for sale sections - Sometimes you can pick up a really nice vise for alot less money.

    Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention I prefer it to be on a base or have a 3/8 stem so i could use my old base. I looked at the danvise on ebay but they had a clamp and doesn't look like it would fit on a base.

    The Danvise fits in a base, but the stem is metric. It fits perfectly in the base I got with my Cabela's deluxe kit, but if you have a 3/8th base, you'll need an adapter. You can also enlarge the hole if you have access to the right tools.
    Don't worry, catch crappie.
