He is asking suggestions for a basic, decent vise to start with. I figure he will be tying trout flies for the most part -- probably sz. 4 streamers through sz. 20 or so dries.
I have a Dyna-King Barracuda Jr. rotary... got it years ago at Somerset for under $200... I like it but I see they now go for $400... way too steep.
I see good things said about HMH Spartan vises, or even the old standard Thompson "A" model, which appear to be available to this day.
Any other thoughts ( ? )
Thanks!
