What vice do you all use? I still have the one that came in the kit, but i was looking at the Regal vice. Any input? I just have a hard time spending that much money if I dont need to.

I use a Renzetti Traveler. I'm not familiar with the Regals operation but I have found the Renzetti's rotary features very easy to use.

Having a vise with a good set of jaws that holds the hooks tight is the most important and the lever operated vises tend to be the most popular. While you don't need the rotary feature to tie great flies, I find that I am able to make tighter, more uniform wraps wit a rotary vise.

WOW! I don't got one of them fancy jobs yet. Fancy vises don't create flies--my meager .02 worth.

I would like to have a rotary. Mainly for turning epoxy flies while setting up . For the most part , if it holds a hook tight, that`s good enough.

R,
I have more vises than I want to admit to. My first "good" ie expensive vise was a Regal. It is incredibly easy to use and holds hooks as well or better than any of the others. There are no adjustments needed for different hook sizes. It is nearly indestructable. I highly recommend it.

That being said, the vise I now use most is a Dynaking Barracuda largely because I like the true rotary function.
