So I've been tying now for a few months, and got a bit of vise-envy since all I have is the el-cheapo $40 Cabela's special kit. Done me fine 'till now, but the mitten jaws and non-rotary nature were really starting to put me off.
Well, I couldn't justify shelling out $300 for a top-notch rotary, and JUST missed out on a $120 Renzetti Traveller, so I needed some gratification.
Hello, Ebay?
$59 shipped later here's my next disposable vise, though with some more nifty features than the India/Pakistan special that is now my backup:
Not a bad unit, and with a little reaming out, the post mount plate that came with the Cabela's one will now be used (as in the photo) instead of the c-clamp jobber that the Danvise came with.
The vise was used and had some jaw tip wear from when the joker who previously owned it sharpened them along with the hooks clamped within.
I guess once I man up and buy $700 rods instead of CL/Ebay/Denios specials, I'll get me a Dyna King or Renzetti.
'Till then, cheap still ties flies fine and catches fish!
