Rated 4 out of 5 by AstroBob from With some easy tweaks it works great Bought this from Bass PRO about 5 years ago and no issues. I did lube the rotating part and placed a O ring between the lock knob and the brass tube that the mechanism rotates in. This provides a bit more consistency in tension. The thumb lock works fine and the jaws are hardened so will hold up fine. Mostly I do hooks from 8 through 16 Not needing to use allen wrenches to adjust is a huge advantage. Thumb knobs on all the adjustments including sliding the jaws up and down to center hooks on axis. The only Allen screw is rarely adjusted....once set it doesn't have to be touched again. A higher end vice might be a bit better but frankly as one who has his own metal lathe and milling machine....those high end ones are grossly over priced for what goes into them...materials and labor. The tension is via a standard O ring so you may need to replaced this every so often....but it is available at any hardware store in the plumbing section. I found a metal spring that could be connected end to end and take the place of the o ring.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Flytyer62 from Terrible This vise is complete garbage. When I bought it I thought it would be a great vise. It looks sharp and feels sharp. I even received complements on my new purches by a gentalmen who has been tying for around 50 years. Once I started using it that's where the problems started. The vise would snap my hooks while trying to build the fly up. The head of the vise would rotate as I was throwing thread onto the hook. You almost need to put thread lock on it but then you can break it all the way down. The elastic band that holds the jaws together broke so now it is completely out of operation for me. I thought this was a great value but the old adage you get what you pay for. I bought cheap and got cheap. Thankfully I had a gentalmen at the event that I was attending give me a "Project Healing Waters" Regal vise. I would never recommend this vise to anyone. It is more of hassle to use it. You spend more time trying to maintain the vise while trying to tye. If you loosen the jaws it won't hold the fly if you tighten the jaws it snaps your hook. The neck won't stay in place. Just all around a better paperweight and at that the paper might blow away. Tight lines and keep em wet fellow fly fisherman!

Rated 4 out of 5 by OleDave from Terra Vice For the money, this is a nice rotary vice. It could benefit from a few mods. One. it has a bit of a short height. The vertical shaft could be longer. There is a small amount of play in the horizontal shaft which is a minor irritant but over all,I like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TN Mountian Rod from Best vise I've ever had. I've been tying for 37 years, and have been using this vise for 12 of those years. Just purchased my second one. I have seen this vise advertised as a beginner vise, but the problem is that it gets into the hands of beginners who get frustrated with it. Fingertip control of the locking and rotating mechanism is easy to master. I've seen this vise many times on u-tube in the hands of well known tiers. This is a great vise.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CNYFlyTier from Get what you pay for There are pros and cons with going with a vise at this price point. I enjoy tying my own flies but I couldn't see spending $200 on a nice rotary vise but I've been tying with a beginner vise and wanted to try something with the rotary functionality. When I bought this vise, I really wasn't expecting much out of it. After tying a few flies on the vise, I have to say, I got what I expected. The rotary functionality is not what you'd expect out of a high end vise, but is exactly what you'd expect for this price point. It works, but there are a few issues. For one, the nut that tightens the post when rotating the flies will either loosen or tighten as you turn. If the post gets too loose, you'll notice that you get a lot of movement vertically when rotating the fly. It seems as though the horizontal post doesn't quite fit as well as you'd think it should. There's also an issue with movement in the jaws. They'll hold your flies just file, but you'll get a bit of wiggle where the jaws are attached to the vise. Other than the issues I've pointed out, it seems to work half way decent for someone looking for a rotary vise without wanting to spend hundreds of dollars. If your budget can handle spending a bit more for a better quality vise, I would highly recommend spending more on something better. If not, this vise will do. Just don't expect it to be the same quality as a high end vise.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cleavage from Decent first vice for beginner I bought this based on price and the amount of flies I tie. I don't tie a lot, and $100 was a little high for the amount that I tie. If you get this, take it apart and lube the rotary mechanism. I put a number 111 o-ring between the rotary knob and tension nut to keep consistent pressure on the rotary. Once lubing everything and making sure every was aligned and tightened, it worked great. The jaws hold well and after adding a spring clamp on the main shaft to support the bobbin holder, (that way it swings full 360 with out having to adjust the height), it works very well. The c-clamp is solid and grips well. It looks wide enough to clamp to a park bench or picnic table as well. I would recommend this to another beginner tier, but I can see moving up in vises sooner than later.
