hectortmc 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 I had a Dyna King but got tired of it . Went to a Renzetti Presentation love the rotary vice plus the small head makes tying alot easier. Just my two cents worth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowfin47 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 I have several decent vises, but I tend to pull out the Abel more that any other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaverfsu 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2006 Like many, started with a Thompson A/Pro. Now have a Dyna-King Kingfisher-love it. Wanted a simple, sturdy, non-rotary vise: this fits the bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Fry 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2006 I split time between my Nor-vise and my Dyna King 'cuda. Both excellent. I've also been tying lately on a Vosseler. Nice vises in case you haven't seen them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flykid 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2006 I started out with some cheap 20 dollar vice from Cabela's and the hooks were actually bending the vice jaws. I put up with this vice for about a year and recently got a Renzetti Cam traveler just like the one on the left of my reply screen. I love this vice. It holds hooks beautifully and is a joy to tie with. Pleasant Tying! Flykid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 I started out with a cabelas masters vise, About three years ago and I still have it. Me and my dad re-worked it and made it true rotary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcg 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 Used a renzetti traveler for about 12 years, then saw Mr. Norlander demonstrating his rotary at a fly show. Oh my. Bought one & haven't used the renzetti since. What a dream. Took a couple hours to work nicely, but once I figured it out, flight! Fast, extraordinarily made, perfect rotary movement--and the wind-up bobbin is a technological break through. So the Nor-Vise has my strong vote.

JayMorr 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 Left the Renzetti Traveler and went with the New V O S S L E R! I love the change! The Renzetti was a nice vise but nothing compares to the Vossler for me. The functionality and features of setting the vise up in various positions is awesome. The biggest change that I have experienced when tying on this vise is comfort. My neck and back pain has gone away because I have been able to dial the vise in to a postion that does not put any strain on me. I love it. The double jaws..... Midge Pinch Jaw and the larger jaw on the vise speed up my tying time allowing me to not have to switch out vises in between flies. Thanks Vossler!!!

michigantroutbum 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2006 Well I started building these vises long before I started tying flies. My Father in-law wanted a Renzetti style but didn't want to spend the $$$$. Being a tool maker I came up with this. This pic is of the first one I built since I have made a few improvements. But alsa I end up with the original and the other 7 or 8 have gone to friends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fritz 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2006 Peak Vise. Great quality and tru rotary at affordable price. Purchase it even if you're just starting out. I'm sure someone at EBAY will purchase it from yo if you decide to sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitch aka 2 fish 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2006 Greetings from Perth Australia. We're in the middle of our dry season waiting for the hopper plague and at times like these we tend to rely on a vice called Dingo. Google it, study it and then envy it. I must admit though, you Americans have got everything else down to a fine art. Viva le sage, columbia, tibor et wasatch! :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
