fly tying vises

[diamonddave7676 0]

I am starting fly tying and there are two different vises I saw here at Bass Pro Shops. I was wondering which one was the better vise or if anyone has used either of these.

 

Apex Fly tying vise

Peak vise

I am wanting to keep the price no more then $150. Anyone have any other recommendations?

Both vises are very good tools, I doubt you could go wrong with either one.

I went with the Peak. Both are great works of machining. You'll get a better deal from Jstockard on the Peak than from BPS. I'm very happy with my choice.

I've been using a Peak for the past two years. It's a cool tool.

looking at a new vise for myself....thought I wanted the apex, but after a little research found the apex a little stiff, may get smoother with use possibly, but I found the dyna king much smoother and more to my liking, still have to do some tying on each before i decide LOL.....good luck......also u might want to do a web search for "fly tying vise reviews" ........get some more info......do some research.....have fun......Good luck!

Vises are like tools; buy it once, buy it right.

Regal Vises are excellent and made in USA.

The easiest vist to use and holds the hook like no other vise.

Good Luck,

I went ahead and got the Peak vise. SO I guess it will be a christmas present from myself.

You will enjoy the peak vise for shure :headbang: Bang for your dollar it will serve you well...and replacement jaws (should you need them...i havent ) are CHEAP compared to some other brands.

 

But like others have said....there are alot of good vises oout there to choose from. I spent over 6 months looking for that one vise to gimme what i wanted and more for around the same price....PEAK!!-Jason
