Favorite Tying Vise

[podum]

That's what I do.  We may have different styles.  The pressure I apply spinning deer hair and schlappen causes slip.

I doubt that anybody puts as much pressure on thread as I do. But now that I think about I do remember taking my jaws apart and roughing them up with some coarse sandpaper. That's probably the difference.

dynaking barracuda will handle #26-6/0 with no problem.i have used one for ten years.i make a lot of bass jigs and spinnerbaits,can switch to size 16 scud in a matter of seconds,plus it is a true rotary vise.last one you will ever need

Second on the Cuda.  I have had mine 15 years and it can handle about anything.  I use a pedestal base and it is rock solid.  

I have had several vises over the years including the Renzetti Traveler and others.  Dynaking is better than anything else I have ever used, by far.

 

OTOH, it is pricey.  You get what you pay for though...it will last a lifetime.

Cuda might be a little too pricey.  Considering.  After further research, the current front runner is the Peak Rotary Vise.

Peak man here, also bought the smaller jaws. I am happy though this was my first vice purchase and have not tried any other. Price was right too,

will add the small midge jaws

Peak for me as well. I've tied with the smaller jaws as well, but don't own a pair myself. They do make things a LOT easier once you get down around 18.

I think I'm going to pick up the Peak Jurassic vice at some point for bigger stuff. It's a pretty freaking awesome design that doesn't slip at all.

I have both a Peak and an Anvil Atlas. I just got the Peak, so I won't speak from personal experience on that one, but Peak's are very well known.

I've had my Atlas for going on 4 years, and I haven't had any issues with it.  I have tied from size 22 up to a 4/0 on the Atlas and haven't had any issues at all. The price point for both the Anvil and the Peak are fantastic as well.

If money is not an option then I would go with a Renzetti Master.  However, I have both a Renzetti Traveler and a Presentation 4000.  The cam on the traveler isn't as smooth as on the presentation, but either are an upgrade from the spider.

my spider vise came In yesterday.  Here is the review I posted in the video forum.
