I just wanted to see if you guys had any opinions on a fly tying vice. I am new to tying flies and need a bit of direction.
Thanks,
Liam

I have an Atlas Anvil that I bought about three years ago..Its great for larger flys but not too good when you get down into the real small ones. i.e. size 18 and up..course I have a hard time tying anything smaller than a 12..I paid somewhere around 150 bucks for it and its been a tough one.

A renzetti traveler is all the vise you will ever need. It is a full rotary vise that allows you to tie flies of almost all sizes. There are other good vises but you can't go wrong with a renzetti traveler.

3x on the renzetti.

I've got a danvise had it for 4yrs and it does the job rather nicely. I think it cost around 70$. But one day when I get the spare $s i'm gonna get a traveler.
