I know, this should be over on the tying group, but this group is a bit
more active.
What tying vise do you use?
If you could buy a new one tomorrow, what would it be?

I'll start:
Use the Danvise (original Danica, not Orvis)
Want to buy a Norvise.


I have some old no-name vise that a a friend of the family gave me when I
was a kid. I have only actually tied a couple flies with it, but I have
used it to wrap lots and lots of hair and feather jigs. No clue the name or
the type, but it works. It is hard to get tightened down with the jaws in
exactly the right position, but it is nice to be able loosen it up ratate
the jaws and tighten it down again.

If I tied seriusly I would look for a vise with two different locks. One to
tighten down the jaws, and one that would allow you to rotate the jaws
without loosening them.
