![]() Have to agree. My first vise was a Thompson model A, I still have this vise and at times use it to have Annie take pictures of my flies for my column in the Catskill Fly Tyers Gazette. This vise has a sentimental memories for me and has tied some really ugly to some really beautiful flies. Wound up with a Renzetti presentation 4000 with cam jaws and a sal****er base. I thought this was the last vise for me. Well the Salmon Fly bug along with bass bugs and salt water flies hit me and hence I bought the Renzetti Master. Now unless this vise blows up or needs constant repair, this is truly my last vise. I can't agree with you more that different vises for different flies and of course styles and preferance. From what I have seen the New Renzetti vise does look a whole lot nice than the older traveler and seems to have been improved as well. I know Renzetti products very well and feel this would be a great first vise that should last a very long time unless the Salmon Fly bug gets him. I also highly endorse HMH and Regal vises. Quality products and will serve a tyer for a very long time of tying. I truly considered a Regal when I was looking for a vise to do Salmon flies. I also looked at Dynaking Barracuda as well. If I were tying Trout flies and my Wet flies I would go with a Regal. I just didn't like the fact I had to change jaws when I wanted to go to another size of fly, meaning Wet fly to salmon fly and then to midge. The Barracuda seemed to be a very high quality vise and what turned me off was it's looks. The Renzetti Master won the all around hands down. I get into these moods when I tye and I tye one show fly of this and then a streamer and next get inspired for a free style Salmon fly. Kind of strange I guess.
