You'll love it if you got the automatic bobbin to go along with the vise.

It's a great tool, but it's hard to get used to. Once you do you won't be
interested in anything else. Well, my dad told me that when I was 13 and he was right. I actually don't see why folks think its difficult to get used to. There are some extra skills involved, but nothing radical. I played with it for two hours last night, topping it off with two wet flies. Had a blast. And yes, it does make it incredibly easy to dub a fly. And yes, my hackle went on like a dream. And yes, ribbing looks perfect. Aside from the price, I'm still looking for the downside of this. I do agree that the lack of room at the back of the fly could be a hindrance, but the fine point jaws more than ameliorate the problem. This vise is friggen awesome. After two hours, I tried my old vice and it felt awkward. Frank Reid
