Comment by dick tabbert on July 21, 2013 at 2:05pm: Leo I just don't think I trimmed them off enough.

Comment by Vince Fusco on July 21, 2013 at 2:00pm: Those look real good, Dick!!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on July 21, 2013 at 1:35pm: Excellent tye. Yu've added a bit of a streamer to the tail. More attraction.

Comment by dick tabbert on July 21, 2013 at 1:03pm: Tried a couple of LedHeds Auto's they done so well for me while I was on vacation at the lake last week. There not painted I just wanted to see how close I could come to the original minus the sickle hooks so I have to order some 1/32 oz jigs with sickle hooks. I think they are fairly close.

Hard to believe something this small would be so effective a fish magnet of sorts.

Comment by Rick King on September 27, 2012 at 6:28am: Thanks guys for the in-put ..... decisions decisions --- now the work begin all the research to figure out what vice will fit my tying preferences. No doubt the rotary is the way to go and it seams that you get one from the value price Danvice (that has good reviews) up to the regal and crazy money for the high end Renzetti.... and others. I'm also looking at the Peak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjgGLvVZTRk w/ a investment of $149.00 . I'm retired like Dick and funds are limited and you can if need there are allot of upgrads that can be added to the Danvise.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on September 26, 2012 at 4:24pm: I HAVE a regal vice and on my third one! Bought the first one 25 years ago and 2nd one 10 years ago. NOPE THEY DIDN'T WEAR OUT , sold em for what I paid for em and used em both for years first . Got my last one and won't sell it cause they'll probably quit making em or something.

I paid for the first vice after a week of tying with money made from bugs I made. THEY LAST A LONG TIME and are made right here in the good ole US OF A!!!!! There is a knock off model and they are alot cheaper than the genuine article , but the principle is the same as to how they work.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on September 26, 2012 at 3:47pm: I have an ancient looking fly tying kit from a garage sale, and the White River Tying kit as a present from my coworker. They both work well. If you have the cash, and something to really sink your teeth into, how about checking out Regal vises?

Comment by dick tabbert on September 26, 2012 at 3:43pm: Rick I don't know if I can help you much cause I just got started tying this year. If you don't want to spend the farm I'll tell you what I can up with. I didn't want to spend a lot of money cause I'm retired and didn't know if I would like tying flies or no. I bought a DANVISE and if I were to only get a few years out of it I'm money ahead. Now I can't compair it to any other vise cause this is the only vise Iv'e ever used and I'm quit impressed for the price I paid I think I gave 68 bucks for it. Once I decided which vise I wanted I found a decent price on the internet. What ever vise you get I'm sure you will enjoy the rotary function. Hope I haven't confused more that helped.
