Ok, so I have been reading everyone's post and the timing could not be better. I have been using (and enjoying) a basic vice that I won at a beer tie, however I am having a harder and harder time with it. The vice allows the hook to slip sometimes. I have really liked the regals I have used at the beer ties and I admit I was looking at one of the cheaper versions/ (don't know if they are knockoffs) but now I'm hearing some issues with them. I also dont know if you can use a spring clip to help hold the material back.
If anyone has other suggestions for vises in the $100 to $150 range, that would be great. What I am looking for is a solid comfortable vice that can handle my large clouser hooks and the size 20 hooks I may tie in the future. I do understand and agree that it is more important that it hold a hook well than to have all of the bells and whistles. That being said, I would love it if it rotated (I am planning to use some eppoxys soon and some of the patterns need to use a rotary vice to do it right.) but that is not a must.
