The first vise I ever owned was a Universal 2 Rotary Vise purchased in 1969 for a whopping $11.95! My teacher retired 1985 and gave me his vise a Universal Rotary Vise (original) from the 1950's. In 1997 I bought a Renzetti Master Vise. I bought the Master vise to handle larger hooks for pike and salmon flies. I even bought the Clouser Minnow Arm for the Master but it's rotation is not centered as with the Universals. For my earlier tying the Universals were better than any other vise for me as the 100% balanced hook rotation (the spindle) I could roll on a body or ribbing faster and better than without! It's funny I saw this now as I took out the vise for the first time in 15 years to whip up some perch streamers.
