{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly Tying Vise Advice

You'll get a lot of opinions but would probably be very well served with any of those. Pick one and start tying! I tie on a Peak pedestal and am 100% happy with my decision. Since buying I added the extension thingie for the rotation whatsit, and a material spring. I may buy midge jaws someday to try tying tiny stuff but have not really needed to (and hey they sell tiny flies at fly shops and I rarely have fished them anyway).

Now, if you try a lot of tiny flies; really need the adjustability to have small hook shanks perfectly in line with axis of rotation; are tying for max volume/speed; and/or don't mind spending more money there are probably other designs that you should consider. Ditto if you like the unique simplicity of the Regal style (I do). I've not tried tube flies or Peak's setup for that so don't know what might be best there.

But all that said, the Peak is a very solid American made vise, and about $150 I recall.
