silverbullet32 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 hey everyone, i am wanting to upgrade to a rotary vise, and the griffin odyssey spider is right at the peak of my budget. i really want a pedastal vise, but i can weld up my own base pretty easily. have any of you guys tied on this vise? looks pretty good to me, i saw it at my local wholesale sports, and it looks decent. thanks guys http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Odysse.....;/dp/B0002O069O LJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tie mostly dry's and soft hackles in the 12 - 18 range. Have been very satisfied with the Grffin vises. Seem to be well thought out and built. I don't think you would be disapointed, but as others say, see if you can try other vises out before you settle on anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
