I have been considering a serious vise for fly tying. While I shop and compare different styles / brands I came across this - http://www.jvice.com/pages/ordering.html I really like the looks of this vise. The cost is WAY to high to justify the expense.

Its nice to have found this site - lots of good stuff! Im a second generation tier and have been tying jigs since I could remember. Working with dad my first job as a young'un (early 70s) was stirring the bucktails to keep the dye even throughout the pot. Its much easier now to pick up a tackle...
