What Vise Do You Use

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 use a Regal. I like having a flat spot for
resting my left hand.

I've been told that if I use a true rotary
for awhile I'll never go back to the Regal,
but I'm not a production tyer. I tie one or
two glasses of Laphroaig worth at a time and
that's it.

So, if I could buy a new one tomorrow, I wouldn't.

Have and use both a Renzetti traveler cam and a Regal. Tend to use the
Renzetti for flies smaller than #10 and the Regal for steelhead and other
large flies (even though I do have the midge jaws for it).

I never use the rotary function of the Renzetti--force of habit, I
suppose; I learned on a non-rotary vise. If I lost both tomorrow, I'd buy
a new Regal.

I never did either, but once Clavemeister Tom started me on it, I'm hooked.
Want more speed.

Depending on my mood, usually an HMH Spartan, also use a Dyna King
Barracuda and Renzetti Presentation 3000.

Another HMH, probably the Standard

Awe, go for it. You know you want it.

Ditto on the thoughts about Regal, I have the non-rotary. It's given me
years of service with no trouble.

I have never tied with a rotary, so I really don't know if I would find the
benefit. The Regal rotary would probably be a nice setup if you like that
feature.

Ditto for me too, George. Had mine for ages, and I've gotten rid of my
other vise.

Any word on what the Montana Rotary is like?
