Learn to Tie Flies Ep#2: Best Budget Vise?? (Intro to Fly Tying) 

Awesome video. Beginner fly tiers, take heed of what these maestros have to say. Wish I had this information and options when I started tying many moons ago.

My first vice was my fingers, tied many flies with the ole pinchers, I was a kid no around me even heard of fly fishing, I was blessed to see some casters who introduced me to casting when I was around 10-11 at a sportsman show I was taken to but I had no flies to use so I started making my own with what ever materials I could find. My fingers hurt like hell but they did the job. I’m 49 now

Mustache is on point.

1989 purchased a Renzetti traveler , wow my first rotary vice . Converted jaws to cam from screw and added weighted base , nice . Still use it about every day . About 4 years ago got into big articulated streamers and big salt flies , purchased a Dyna King Excalibur . At first I did not like it , I did not like the jaw set up . Well it didn’t take to long to get the hang of the jaw set up and guess what it’s a great vice . I find it better for big flies when you really have to reef down and you are using epoxy and resins . Lots of working room on top no matter how big you go . But not an entry level vice . Still use the Renzetti for most everything else . Have also used the Regal traveler its a very good vice but once you get into and use a rotary vice you kind of stay with them . The vices they critiqued are all good , my advice would be get the best you can afford because once you get bit by the tying bug you will need all rest of your money for materials. It an endless enigma , but so much fun :-)

Really appreciate this video I needed it for sure

Love my Peak!

HMH Spartan is extremely well made, has easily exchanged jaws, and rotates. Made in the USA and very responsive customer service. They even have a cool tube fly add on. The Omni jaw hold a huge range of hooks out of the gate and has a death grip on hooks. I love mine.

Still using my adopted grandpa's Thompson model A from before I was born. It replaced the Vise-Grips mounted to a block of wood.

Great video! #peakmafia I've done down to #26 and up to #8/0 with my Peak's standard jaws, though neither of those situations was ideal. I'm comfortable with the standards from #18-2/0.

Peak Mafia - LOL! I started on a Peak Rotary. It's a good vise. I just liked the Griffin Mongoose better, although I hybridized my Mongoose with the Peak pedestal and the Peak brass pedestal adapter. If my Mongoose ever breaks (not likely) maybe I'll take a look at some of the Cadillac vises. Nice video! Thanks!

I got a beginner tying kit about 3 years ago that had the extremely basic 15$ Steel vice. It has held up pretty well. I’ve tied hundreds of flies and the jaws are just now starting to fail. It still holds 10+ hooks but anything less they are fairly loose. Still a good deal to get started

I really like my Renzitti traveler. Only issue is I didn't like the light weight base that came with it. Switched out the base to a heavier one and voila, the perfect vise.

Thanks for sharing the 411 on those vises, would be interested to see your ratings/opinion on the higher end vises.

I gave tying on a Apex vise for about 8 years. Holds every size hook that I tie. The jaws are in great shape. I have probably tie a 1000 flies on this vise.

Great job if you're happy with a fifteen dollar vice and you catch fish awesome. Great salesmen you two sell having fun not buying the best. It is nice to see people not just showing the most expensive tools.

PEAK MAFIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Love my Peak, but for real they're all great vises. My two tying buddies love their Renzetties. As long as it holds a hook right?

Great video! For saltwater/freshwater streamers and bucktail jigs can you recommend a 2nd choice to the Dyna King F-C .

Love my Apex, and USA made.

I bought a starter kit which included a vice and I have tied over 1000 flies with it over 4 years. The kit is from Orvis. You don't need to spend more than $40 to get started.

I’m new into fly tying. The Renzetti isn’t out of my price range. However, I’ll be trying mostly flies for bass fishing and inshore/surf fishing. My question is is there a good quality vice that will accommodate a bass size hook, say up to a 7/0 ish?

So between renzetti saltwater traveler or griffin montana mongoose which one you recommend me? (the money is not an issue)

One can never have too many vises. None-pro tip: Open the window & check for anyone below before throwing that trashy vise out the window. You break fewer windows that way.

Been tying 20 years and peak rotary is all you need unless you’re doing articulated streamers then back clip is nice

What would be your best recommendation for a saltwater vise ? THANK YOU.

Saludos 👍

Wait! YOUR Montana Mongoose vise with the better base and stem pedestal mount support than what is advertised is way cool!!! HOW DO I GET ONE..

I am broken between these two vices, the Renzetti Traveler 2000 series rotary or Wolff Indiana Atlas rotary vice? Or would you say that either one is great.. Please let me know if you guys have the time. Thank you for the video.

How come no Stonfo vises? greetings from Italy! ciao

I've got a monguse it came with everything you want I'm using big streamers no problem in it oh yeah it comes in a case.

Some stonfo vises also have c-clamp and pedestal, so griffin aint only one

Peak ftw

I like my h and k well made

cheece, bring back the stache! quaran-stache!

Ever tried a Danville? Opinion?

Sweet tan lines.

Wow the cheapest vice is my vise, just cant afford a rotary vise 🙈

U r incorrect sir, you said "$15 vises won't work"? Well, the Colorado Anglers Super Aa vise 103 is $15.99. This CHEAPLY priced vise is so friggen well made, and made in USA. 360°rotating head that reefs down sz. 2 to 26 hooks and holds them easily. The cast iron clamp is much better than aluminum.

яка ціна на сканки

i have a 4 dollar vise from ebay😂 -Ethan

Cool Video but you needed to get closer to the vices it was hard to see them !!!!!

You started with a Locking Pliers for $4 (price 2022). 🤣

Meant to say hmh

Donde los puedo conseguir y el material para aser mosca yo puedo un poco pero no tengo el material

This is why fly fishing is a rich sport

you need to have the vice (or what you are describing) in a close up view while you describe it . The viewers can not determine all the feathers you talking about. I will stick with the one you don't recommend. I will modify mine to up grade it. Get a different camera person.
