Which vise do you use?

[Fascist Killer]

Hey guys- Wanted to see what vises you own, which you use the most, and which vise you started on. I'd set up a poll, but there are so many vises out there, it didn't seem practical.

Like most guys I started on a Thompson A vise, that was back in the 1970's when I first got into fly fishing.

Now I use a Montana Mongoose made by Griffin. It is a great vise, used alot of other people's vises over the years, but the Mongoose is my favorite!

We had this question before and i will endorse the mongoose again. Griffin makes great products for the money.

I currently use a Regal and also a Thompson that has midge jaws. I most likely will be buying either a Dynaking or Renzetti this fall.

I now have 2 thomsons.. a HMH.. and the one I use the most a Griffin Oddessy spider..

I started on a Herter's and then used a Thompson. Used many others too. I had this vise built to my specs 4 years ago and have never been happier:



It's called a JVise from South Africa.

That's a sweet looking machine.

I own three, a Thompson Pro with regular and midge jaws, a Regal rotary (not true rotary) and a Dyna-King Jr. Trekker. They each have their uses, the Thompson is my "travel" vise, the Regal is my big streamer/hair spinning vise and the Dyna-King is my everyday vise. It took me a little while to get accustomed to the Dyna King after using the Regal for so long, but now I love it. Looking at the underside of your flies with a true rotary is really helpful.
