JWM72 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 I was just looking for a some feedback on the renzetti presentation 2000 vise. I have been tying on a renzetti traveler for 15 years and it has served me well. But I would like to upgrade to vise that has a little more weight in the base and one that has a longer stem. The presentation 2000’s price range seems reasonable. I have tied mostly trout patterns, In the past year or so I have switched to tying saltwater patterns since I live a ¼ mile from the coast and was able to pick up a center console to get me out and around sandy hook to chase stripers. Any info would be appreciated. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any info would be appreciated. Jim Jim, I have a lot of vises, so have used many over the years. Renzetti does make quality vises. Personally, I like the Presentation 4000. I mostly tie small flies and really like the screw type jaws on the 4000. But, I think any of their vises would be good.' Byron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
streamcaddis 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 My first Renzetti was the 3000. I got it back in the 70's. In 2006 I got the 2000, I put that baby on the bench and used my 3000 with the AuSable crank on the road.Tow years ago I sent the 3000 to Renzetti and had it reworked and brought up to date. They did a fantastic job on it. I also have a traveler vise for the kids to use. I thought about Dayna-King but I don't do bass bugs or salt water flies.IMHO, you just can't beat a Renzetti.....

narcodog 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 You know you can buy a longer stem from Renzetti, I did. About the base I think the Peak base is the best out there, which the Renzetti will fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWM72 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the replies and info. I think I’m going to try to upgrade my traveler with a new base and matching riser from Peak. I think this should get me a slightly taller and stable platform until I decide on my next vise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drill a hole through the side weld a nut to it and screw in a knob for the shaft lock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
