The new Dyna King "Trekker" ($209US) will dominate the market in it's price
point. It is cheaper and smaller than the "Barracuda Sr." and will be better
for trout flies.
The larger "Barracuda Sr."($329) has for been hot now for years. Very
popular with big game fly fishers.
We still sell lots of Renzetti "Travelers".
The DynaKing "Kingfisher" @ $109 is smoken' hot.
The Regal vise is still very popular.

Anyone with first hand experience using this vise, especially for size
16-22 flies?
Also would REALLY appreciate any comments from folks that have used it
head-to-head with a Renzetti Traveler, and no, not looking to hear from
Traveler devotees who won't tie on anything else. =)
The prices aren't too radically different, and I'm considering both,
after saying no to a rotary for 35 years. I tie almost exclusively on a
Regal 360 now, but have been giving these two true rotaries some serious
consideration.
I've tried the DanVise and don't like it at all... no place to rest your
"off" hand, too crowded around the jaws, etc. Owned and sold a NorVise,
no use for one of those again and don't like the Griffin rotaries at
all... would like a Regal Presentation or a Waldron vise, but I'm not
going to spend that kind of money!!!
Thanks!
Larry
