I tied with a Renzetti Traveler for 5 years or more before buying a
Barracuda. The Traveler is very good value for the money, but mine eventurally started to wear out, and the locking nuts don't hold. The Barra cuda is rock-steady, but not near as nice to tie on. My main demand is that it is rotary, which makes it a lot easier to tie on the other side of the hook "Larry" wrote in message m... 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!!!
