Need some info on vise, I am newbie tyer and

I dont ty for anyone but myself or give a few to friends, now with that said, after watching skips video, I saw his vice and looking at mine it makes me seem to be using one from the dark ages :o I dont want to spend a lot of money on a vise but I did like the deal where he twirled it and spun the thread on it, I dont need something extravagant, just something a little more versatile than I currently have. Im mine would be considered a beginnings cuz it just sits there :D


thanks in advance

First what do you have now???? Rotary is a totally personal thing, their are some WORLD class tiers that still use stand alone vise's. My newest vise is a Dyna King Kingfisher and I love it but that's me.

If you're seriously going to go rotary go to a fly shop or a local fly tying club and see if they'll let you tie on all the different vise's. You can read all the reviews and listen to everyone say what their favorite is but if you aren't comfortable tying on a vise it takes all the fun out of it.

A Rotary is one thing, but spinning it is another and not going to find a quality jig that spins like that on the low cost side. I don't even know of another vise that can do that, but I seem to remember someone taking about one that does, but don't think it was less money. Nor with no conversions and such is about $300.

Thanks skip, just not ready to jump off into a lot of money on something that I just use very little, but I appreciate your info on this


thanks again

I'm working with a vice I gave $45 for and it works alright but I do see a better vice coming in the next year. I enjoy tying and the vice is the one most important tool. Maybe Santa Baby can put a new vice under the tree- for me!!! Only 6 months LOL.

maachuu,
If you want a vise that rotates and you don't really know whether you will even like it or not, I suggest you go on ebay and purchase Zephr EZ Rotary Vise. Yesterday they were $49.95 then you add shipping. It is a metal vise and after you use it a while it will let you decide if you want to add a larger $ vise to your collection.

I just got a Griffin Oddessy Spider Vise from laserdoc on C.com. It's a rotary vise and I think I'm gonna like it. $79 including shipping

Has anyone used the Anvil Atlas? This looks like a good "true rotary" vise for a reasonable price but wanted to know from someone who has used it what they think.
