Mine now has sweet spots that I have to use to hold the hook, around ten years old and used to clamp things a little too tight. :o In my Jan's Netcraft catalog they have some that look to have an adjustable angle (Odyssey Spider Vise - $79.95). That $$ would be about the MAX I could spend without my wife kicking my !!! and changing the locks. :eek:

What is the purpose for the 45 degree angle? Just seems an odd angle when just about any fly or jig is sitting horizontal in the water, I like to think of how it will look in the water. My neck probably gets sore mostly from holding my head at a 45 deg to see what it looks like horizontal! lol

I bought a peak vise from bass pro after talking with Skip and I am glad I did. It's a good vise and it has made a significant improvement in my jigs. You could probably get one cheaper off of e-bay but I wanted to be sure of what I was getting. I figure if I get 10 years use out of it(and I should get alot more than that by looking at the vise) I've got more than my moneys worth. I had to pinch some pennys and eat some campbells soup to get it but I am glad I bought it. It has multiple upgrades so it can get better as you do. just my thoughts on the matter.......brim
