I have too many vices consisting of a basic Regal which I use mainly for
tying tube flies, intruders and regular steelhead flies. My first vice was
a Crest US made vise which still works but is quite worn, This was followed
by a Renzetti traveler clamp on and my favourite is the Norvise. I also

went to rotary almost 30 years ago and will not go back to stationery. I even
converted my old Regal to a rotary.Tony

it also is just as nice, easy to use and so far have not had
Jack:
I have a Renzetti Traveler Rotary that I use to tie most of my flies from
sz.30 to 4/0. All without changing jaws.
I recently got a Dyna King stationary that I like very much.In my opinion
(which is worth as much as you have paid for it ) you can never have enough
vices.

I find myself preferring a conventional vise over the full rotary types
mostly because of the awkward positioning of the hand when attaching
materials. Currently I have a Anvil Apex that can do just about everything
I want from size 24 to 1/0 worm hooks. However, I have had thoughts of
