Got a Regal vise yesterday and have been sitting here watching football and tying flies all afternoon.

The primary reason I got the vise is because mounting the hook in the vise is so simple, even when switching hook sizes. 8)

Tied a bunch of flies in sizes ranging from 6-16 and every hook got locked in really well, no slipping in the jaws at all. I'm really happy with this vise, it holds hooks SO much better than my old vise, even holds the 6's so good they'll bend before slipping (without using the notch)

I got the midge jaws for tying really small stuff but dont think I'll use them much. When tying with the 16's, I felt I could go a lot smaller without switching, and I dont tie much below 20's anyway.

I could go on forever, but I wont bore you to death. Suffice to say, this vise lives up to the hype; meeting all expectations, a rare event for sure.
