FishyboY 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Renzetti Traveler! official True Rotary! and then before that i had a terra rotary... both make it very easy to see all parts of a fly. and i often find myself using the rotary function on trout flies. The rotary function is great if you are thinking of tying streamers or saltwater patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agn54 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 I tie on a Danvise. It works well but it does get cramped behind the hook, especially since I tie pretty much all saltwater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrismartin 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Started on a cheap "kit" vise... wore it out in about 6 months. Upgraded to the Renzetti Apprentice. The Jaws rotated, but not along the axis of the hook. Have since upgraded to the Renzetti Traveler... true rotary and a truly great vise. Have found true rotary to be a real asset to tying. It doesn't make me a better tier, but it does make me more efficient and certain techniques more easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

utyer 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 True rotary vises for me. Dynaking Sidewinder, and a Nor-vise. 90+% of the time I use the Nor-vise. I spin dubbing on it, and use the rotary function to wind materials onto the fly. I wouldn't want to go back to a non-rotary vise, Looks like your responses are about 90% rotary.

So i was just wondering if I should stay with a fixed vise...I love rotarys though what rotary vise are you looking at. I know there are several ones you can get that don't cost much. There is the terra but i had horrible results with that one. And i forget the other one off the top of my head but i think jan or brian used to tie on it.

smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Perhaps you are thinking of the Griffin Spider vise. Retails for eighty-five dollars. Not exactly cheap but not super expensive either. Never tied on the thing, however I have heard favorable reports on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
