Purchased this vise a short time ago. I have tied flies from #20s-2/0 streamers. Jaws are rock solid. Construction and machining of the entire vise is top notch. Every day I’m enjoying more and more. This is a vise that will last a lifetime for commercial tyer’s and eternity for anyone else. Incredibly Smooth rotation, and locks I’m any position without compromise. Comes with material spring, bobbin holder, and parachute attachment. Base is solid, tool rack is an awesome touch as well. You will not find this vise at a better price anywhere (I looked). The service From Frostyfly is unmatched in my opinion. If you are in the market for a new vise, you have found it and the place to get it from.

This is a great vise. Been using it for a few months now, tying flies ranging in size from tiny Trico drys to big Saltwater patterns. The jaws and all the features and attachments that this vise comes with are well thought out and designed. I particularly like the parachute attachment that comes with it. Tying good parachute patterns can be a bit of a challenge, but this attachment will help make a better fly in less time than other methods. It’s a solid vise that comes with some nice extras at a fair price point. Recommended !!
