If you're tying flies size 22 or smaller go with Renzetti, other than that, DK can do it.

Go to a reputable fly shop and try both. My personal preference is the Renzetti.

Just curious about this. I do not see an ultimate enhanced Barracuda model on the Dyna-King site. I do see it at JStockard...and it is almost 400 dollars. I just wonder if the vise is that much better. I tie on a HMH Spartan, but wondered what the ultimate vise would be. Sadly there are no shops nearby to try out.

I admit being a fly tying vise junkie.

Have owned most of the popular high end brands over the years and settled on two == Renzetti and DynaKing.

Large hooks = DynaKing, the sloted jaws are excellent and cannot be equaled for hook holding.

Medium to small hooks = Renzetti,,,, most comfortable and versitile vise on the market.

Tiny midge hooks = Renzetti,,,, three jaw vise or today's Presentation 3000 with optional midge jaws.

Many other brands are fine tools however, the clamping is not very secure.
