I am in the market for a new vise and I was hoping for a few suggestions. I dont live in Sacramento anymore so I can't just drop into Kiene's and talk to the staff there. So, I figured posting here was the next best thing. I have noticed that there appears to be a few different styles for a vise. Some have "bent" arm connecting the main part of the vise to the jaws. An example of this is the Renzetti Traveler or the Dyna King Barracuda Junior Trekker. Others, such as the Dyna King Prince seem to have a "straight" arm connecting the jaws to the rest of the vise. My question is what is the difference? What are the pro's and con's for each? Any other suggestions on features I should consider or vises I should look at would be greatly appreciated. I am looking at spending about $200 on a vise. Also, I will be using this vise to primarily tie trout flies. I have posted a few pics below to illustrate the differences because I am sure that my terminology is wrong.
Thanks,
Matt
