Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rick56 excellent
I have tied at least 500 flies with this vise and used it to display flies that I have tied, and have not had a single problem with this unit, I just put a size 6 salmon hook in this puppy with no problems at all, it will take a much larger hook, it works just about as good as the regal, I would rather own a Regal but this one was $211 cheaper! I thought I was buying a cheap vise that would soon fall apart but it is 6 years later and this guy is still chuging along, it is easy to load and tie flies with, and it is a rotary vise for trimming hair on muddlers, this is a best buy...

Rated 1 out of 5Â by DrDodge Too hard to squeeze
This hurt my hand every time I tried to squeeze it open.
I thought it would work like a a higher end product, not even close. I went back to my old vise.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Rich5665 Good intermediate vice
I started with an AA Vice and quickly upgraded to this model. The vice is manufactured under different names, but they are all the same model out of India. My only issues with this vise are the Thumb Screw that holds the shaft in place fell apart and I have to tighten the C-Clamp every once in a while. A 25 cent Allen Screw was easy enough to find as a replacement for the Thumb Screw. I have tied hundreds flies from size 20 to size 4 on this vise. I think it would be nice if the vice came with a bobbin rest as well.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by tyer so far so good
If you want to spend the money on a Regal vise stop reading and order it. I have other vises but I wanted one that I could load faster. It is made in India and you have to use a solvent to remove the "anti-rust" coating. I am sure the outsourcing is the reason that it is so inexpensive It is a chore to get a size 6 hook in the vice but instructions say it will hold larger.

The reviewer commented that loading a #6 hook was a chore but how will it work with smaller hooks say #12 to #20?Answers
A:Â
Loading #6 is not a problem...smaller is not a problem eitherA:Â
I've used down to a 16 with no problem.A:Â
fine but mine broke after about a monthA:Â
First hook I put in the vise was a size 22 dry fly hook, rock steady. I dont go below size 24 just because its to much of a pain in my opinion, but I dont think it would have a problem with down to a 28. Just make sure you have the hook in the jaws right because spring loaded jaws like these can cut finer hooks off.Details:Â
I tie saltwater flies,I need to know the max hook size.Answers
A:Â
I've been able to tie a Size 4, I haven't tried any thing larger than that yet.A:Â
The directions say larger that #6 "For larger hooks ( size 6 and larger), align the hook bend with the curved groove in the Vise Jaws adn rock the hook back and forth as you close the jaws (this will lock larger hooks in position)" Hope this helps1 of 1
