Criteria: must be able to use it for small nymphs and drys to big pike and saltwater fly's and also not cost an arm and a leg...is there such a beast out there? what do you suggest?

Buck Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I just received my Danvise from EBAY and have no complaints thus far. http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-TRUE-ROTARY-DANVISE...%3A1|240%3A1318 My old Vise gave up Last night so I'm on the hunt for a new one.

Teck71 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 my son has a danvise (stolen from me) and he loves it. I use an Apex Anvil and it does what I need as well. Teck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0Danger Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have and Apex Anvil and really like it. I did go and get an extension arm i really like it as well. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiasson Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have the Atlas, nearly the same thing as the Apex, and have the same complaint, it doesn't come with an extension arm (bobbin cradle). Otherwise, I think it's great vise for the money. Which arm did you get and where in town can I pick one up?

Nick0Danger Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I got a lap extension not a bobbin rest, http://www.dyna-king.com/accessories_dtl.a...v=1&pid=078 Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks All cohod Easy Search the forum for for fly tying vices, there have been many posts with this question. do a bit of research. 1) Go to a good fly shop 2) let them pick out the vices in your price range 3) Try a couple and see which one you like. Enjoy tying, lots of good fices out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohod Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 right on guys Thanks for the info... I was looking for some direction, my last vise lasted 20 years and couldn't tell you the name of it...done the online searching and spent some time today looking at some different vices... I've been out of the loop for a bit now so I was looking for some advise as to what direction to go lots of crap out there. Thanks again cohod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowbiker Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have a Danvise too.. only used it once. Send me a PM if you're interested and we can work out a deal. Hey Birchy, Is the Danvise still for sale? PM sent. Dick Seymour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think the Dyna King is the best vice on the market. It certainly does everything I need done and as a commercial tier, I put lots of hooks through it. Quality construction is very important in a vice. Also the jaws have two groves in them for larger hooks so there is not as much pressure placed on the hook while tying. I suggest giving one a look.

LeRoy Which Dyna King are you tying on these days Leroy. Always liked the look of that vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I really like the Voyager II. It is small enough to break down and fit into a small padded pouch that comes with it. It is not designed as a rotary vice but I use it as one at times. Very well made and you should never have to up grade to something else.

I tie on a Nor_Vice most of the time but want to pick up something compact for traveling adn doing shows and clubs. I'll check it out.
