I'm kinda old school I started out on an old Thompson Model A and still have it!! but I bought a Dyna King Kingfisher years ago and still use it, BUT I'm shocked at how much one is today!!! As has been suggested look for a fly tying club or a show and see if you can put hands on the vise's!! Because of my likes I'd say a Dyna King but lots of the guys here use the Peak, it all depends on how much you want to spend but I'd start with something cheap to see if you'll even like tying your own!! Not all of us are material junkies!! LOL
