Ooops. I sat writing on mine while you posted this... Please note that what I wrote about the Mongoose is nothing more than 'example of difference in opinions'. (If I had taken a break to read yours, I wouldn't have mentioned it by name.) So don't let that scare you off. As I said, I know many who love theirs. /Nick

Bob _____ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:30:07 -0800 From: bambot...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [VFB] Vises To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Bob, I go along with Mike on this. I have about 20 vises, I collect them, and each have their own pros and cons. I have a Danvise and can find a number of things that don't suite me but others love them. I have a Regal that is a fast production vise but if your hands are bad, squeezing the lever might be hard on your hands. The Norlander is a fast vise for tying some flies like the Woolly Buggers. I can go on but I think you get the idea. I use the Dyna King Barracuda Jr. For me it is the ideal vise in size as I do shows and it is just the right size to travel. I also have two other Dyna King vises that are smaller and I take one of them when just doing a local demo instead of taking the Jr.along and having to break down my tying station. My Jr. and complete tying station fits in a attache case as one unit along with the tools I will be using at the show.

I started on a Thompson A vise, then to a Renzetti Traveler and then a Regal. A few years ago I bought a NorVise. I have tied on a few others. Each seems to have its particular strength and weakness. If you enjoy your vise, don't change. If it no longer suits your needs there are lot's of vises and opinions. I think Hans W. did a fine article a few years back on vises that I think you could find on the internet. The best thing to do if you want to make a change is to find a full service shop that has several of the vises that you are considering and ask to tie on them. Many will let you sit down and try them out (at least mine did). Lacking that if there is a tying group in your area find out when they meet and sit with them and tie on theirs. It's the best way to decide, especially if you are thinking of stepping up to a much more expensive vise.

Whats the differences between the lower priced (100 and below) and the higher priced models? I am thinking of upgrading but dont know if I need to, I have a Danvise and like it, course its the only one Ive owned so I dont know any different.
