Fly Tying Vises

[stripermaineiac]

Renzetti traveler is probably the best bang for the buck. I have a Master and a couple traveler saltwater series. my Regals just didn't hold up to all the tying that I do.even now i still tie a few 1000 tail hooks,teaser,flies and jigs a year.The best part with Renzetti is that you can get replacement parts pretty easily from them.The saltwater traveler is around 180.00 apeice.If you want I'll bring one to plugfest so you can see it.

For big hooks you can get someone to weld a steel rod onto a vise grip and build a very good vise very cheaply.

I like the Regal vice with the big game head.... not very expensive

Here are a couple pics of my Regal holding a 6/0 siwash... I have used it with 7/0s with no problems

I have an old Thompson Pro that I use. Tie Siwash up to 6/0 6X without any problem. Wicked cheap. Around $50 brand new

I went a little overboard with my vise. Made it a true rotary vise, used 3/8 rod and some roller blade bearings. The cylinder is a piece of gas pipe, welded a tab and threaded a ¼” screw as a stop to hold the vise in place so you can use two hands to apply material and use a bobbin. The ¼” screw stops on two nuts that are welded on the horizontal piece of 3/8” rod, on the other side of the vise its being held together by a 3/8” drill stop. It was a fun project, it was made just for tying buck tails, but in this picture you can see that it works with flies too.
