The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

In general, the vise is nothing more than something to hold the hook while you tie. How much and how many frills you may want is another thing. I started with the kit in a box that Cabela's has in their catalog for a very minimal price. It also had a clamp and pedestal that came with it so you could use it anywhere. For an inexpensive system, I would highly recommend it. Includes tools and almost everything you need except thread and feathers. I used it for several months and eventually wanted something better and checked several out.

Nor-Vise or Dyna-King seems to be my personal choices and I ended up with the Nor-Vise. A little tough to get used to at first but now I love it. The only thing I would strongly suggest is ROTARY!!! You won't be sorry.
