Well I don't know anything about vises, but this one seems very well made. I put it together and tried a hook in it and it held tight. The Rotary Function works pretty smooth and I am sure it will get better. I think for the price you couldn't get much better. No tools or supplies yet so next week and I will be able to tie my first ones

That looks like a good one... If you don't mind me asking what brand is it and where did you get it
Its a Mayfly, I got it off ebay and its all made here in the USA. Like I said I really don't know anything about them but this seems well built I think I will be happy that this is the one that I got instead of one of the 15 dollar ones made over in some place I never heard of
Nice looking vise. Might put a touch of light machine oil on the rotary. Looks like it will get the job done.
Nice looking vise!! Lets see some jig pic's!!
Looks like a good vice. I need to upgrade to something better myself.
Fixed the pics for you.
That looks like a well built vise and should give you many hours of tying.
thanks for turning the pics. I cant wait to try it
Nice!! I think you may cause me to spend some more money! Let us know after you tie on it a while, what you think about it.
Wait till you field test what you made the best filling I the world buddy!
Great looking vice. Now welcome to the family of crazy crappie jig tiers. LOL

Well glad you got one and seem happy with it. Now time to get after tying! Congrats!
Looks good.
Ive used the vise this weekend and everything seem ok with it. The rotary is smooth and if I oiled it Im sure would even be better. I like the fact that you can rotate it to trim the other side, which I seem to be doing a lot. The jaws seem to hold good and the base is stable. it dosent wobble around any, I would recommend it from what I can see especially for the price.
From what I have seen most don't need any oil for a very long time. Don't think I ever used any oil on mine!Quote:
