Rainbow Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Got my Danvise ($65.) in the mail this morning. Took 3 weeks to get here but worth the wait, tied some Crystal Wooly Buggers on it this afternoon and it works great. Came with a DVD that covers setup and jaw ajustment. Quote
Din Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 nice, is it a rotary vice? whered you get it from. im in the market for a vise but havent decided to fork over the money yet. Quote
Rainbow Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 Yes it is a full rotary vise. I bought my vise on ebay at about 1/2 of what they wanted at the cheapest store in Calgary. There are also other fly tying sites that sell them and just about anything you need for fly tying. If you do some shopping around you can find some great prices. For example I bought 12, 200 yard spools of Danville 6/0 Flymaster waxed thread in various colours for $1 spool. Quote
birchy Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Do any others have some opinions on this vise? I'm thinking of getting one because of this thread: http://flyangler.ca/forum/index.php?showto...&hl=danvise Rainbow.. are you TEE? Quote
Saltamontes Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I've had my Danvise for a couple of years. Pretty sweet, no complaints. It is not fancy, but built very strong. I love the full rotary feature, although at times I don't quite use the rotary feature to its fullest potential. If you look around you should find a good deal on one. I got mine for about half the retail price from some fly shop in Ontario a couple of years ago. Quote
birchy Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Purchased a brand new Danvise on EBay today for $64.80. Free shipping to Canada! Quote
hatman Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I also bought a Danvise off of ebay for the same price and free shipping. Have had it all winter and love it. It definitely improved my tying and finishing techniques. Rotary is the way to go and I'm not sorry that I did so. Just be careful of the way that you load the hook into the jaws (especially when you change hook sizes!!)and follow the advice on the dvd and all is happy. Quote
birchy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 We must be all buying them from the same guy.. Another 5% off maybe? haha Quote
Rainbow Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 We must be all buying them from the same guy.. Another 5% off maybe? haha Got my cheque in the mail this morning Quote
EdB Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Hey, how arer you guys getting free shipping? Doesn't say that on E-bay. Quote
birchy Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Here ya go mang! http://cgi.ebay.ca/Danvise-Rotary-Fly-Tyin...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
Teck71 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Damn Birchy there goes 65 bucks, Thanks was looking for a new vise. Quote
EdB Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 just bought one as well. Guess i'm going to start tying. Now i need a teacher. Quote
Tee Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Do any others have some opinions on this vise? I'm thinking of getting one because of this thread: http://flyangler.ca/forum/index.php?showto...&hl=danvise Rainbow.. are you TEE? Hey Birchy No, i'm TEE and i love my danvise!!! I would suggest it to anyone. Then again, what do I know, it's my first and only true rotary vice. I tell you what though, paying 70 bucks for this vised seems to make even more sense when I use it for tying now. Quote
Tee Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 just bought one as well. Guess i'm going to start tying. Now i need a teacher. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/ more specificly http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/beginners/ This is where I kinda got my start and I think it is a great and informative place to start.

Slyangler Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I think the Danvise is a an excellent vise for the money. Ive tied a couple thousand flies on one of them, and as of yet have no complaints whatsoever. I think you folks will be pleasantly suprised. Quote
