Product review: Regal vise

Regals really do a great job with most applications. The exception being the small hooks. I was a commercial tyer throughout college and put about 20,000 flies on the regal INEX. I used it up to about 10 yrs ago when I got a DynaKing Barracuda. I have to say for most applications the Regal in whatever form you buy it in is a top vice. I too had the occaisional small hook slip out and the jaws did chip. I got them replaced for a small fee.
I am sorry to say I sold it to a buddy for short $. I love the barracuda but Im not totally thrilled with having to readjust the collet to get the proper tension. I tye salt and freshwater flys at any given session so I may change up from a 3/0 to a 22 from one fly to the next. Never had to think about it with the regal. Im contemplating getting a new one. Question is are the stainless jaws more likely or less likely to break if the small hook occaisionally goes ping?? As a former commercial tyer and current "experimentalist" in fly tying ...I would get the regal right off the bat and never look back

They're supposed to be less likely to break... the new rotary regal looks cool.

I had a chance to use the "new" Regal Rotary vise----I personally found it to be a clumsy vise to use and I still don't like the jaws for smaller flies. I feel the very positive clamping action is great but the handle interferes with my methods of tying and makes for an interesting piece of artillery with my 18-20's. This of course negates the vises use because I have a very precious cat who will undoubtedly snuff up smaller hooks. I recently switched from a Dyna-King Supreme to the Barracuda, after 30 years with the Supreme." Too soon ve grow old und too late schmardt...." 8)

I love my Regal Vise. I have the Revolution with the Midge Jaws and I find the vise very easy to use and it holds hooks very solidly. I have had zero issues with hooks slipping, even when applying heavy tension with my tying thread.

I agree with you Doc.
I love my Renzetti, 3000, all be it l have the afore mentioned Dyna kings and Regal, which certainly has some uses for Saltwater and larger flies.
