    Default New Vise


    I have been into this new hobby of tying jigs which I have learned from this forum for about 2-years now and would like some recommendations for a New and better Vise. Since I started I have worn out two of the cheaper versions of tying vises pictured below. Thanks guys and have a "HAPPY NEW YEAR"!!

    I just ordered a Danvise for 75 bucks. Can't see paying several 100 and I did not want one under 50. Danvise is suppose to be very nice and had good reviews

    Did a lot of research and ended up purchasing a Peak Rotary Vise... Best buy in the 100-150 range and it's American Made!! Well built without the high price tag... I love mine.

    Hey Len,

    I forgot to mention that I have a link for you to check out if you haven't purchased your vise...
    Nice link for comparing vises, plus reviews on all major vises...

    Hi Len,

    I have used a Renzetti Salt Water Traveler which I liked a great deal, but at $210 is higher than the Peak which I almost got later, but changed my mind and went with the Nor-Vise which is really different and high cost. It does make a lot of fly tying things much easier like dubbing. I do love it though and if you were tying flies I may even try to show you the videos for it, but don't look if the pocket is limited.

    I have not tried the Peak my self, but have hear very good things about it and it is very well built and heavy duty.

    Good Luck,

    If you consider that $75 Danvise (which so far seems to be a pretty good one) be usre to get the extension for it. It gets your jig out a little more and makes it a lot easier to work with.

    I agree and had one for a year and like it just fine. If you price range fits the Danvise it is the best true rotary for the money.
