Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Upgrading vise

I love my Regal (non rotary), but other than giving you a quicker way to get the hook into the vise, it doesn't provided much functionality over the Thomson (don't knock the model A).  

I also have a Renzetti traveler for rotary use.  I am still learning to take advantage of it.

If you want a Rotary vise, I would go with the Renzetti, just because it is the standard by which other Rotary vises are measured.  

However, I wouldn't get rid of the Model A.  I don't spin deer hair on the Traveler or tie big flies with a lot of tension.  It holds the hook fine, but the support is a bit more flexible and I don't like the feel of that.

I have the Renzetti Traveler and I love it. I've tied flies sized #24 through #2/0 and have encountered no issues with the vise.

It has come time for me to move on from my vintage Thompson model a to something a bit more versatile. I'm choosing between the Renzetti Traveler, Peak Rotary and Refal Medallion Rotary. Found them all for within the same price point, give or take 10 bucks.

For those with experience of the three, I'd really appreciate any advice/feedback.

Best,
