Rotary Vise vs. standard ???
I have a Dynaking vise that I can rotate but it is not a true rotary vise. Just curious what the advantage to the rotary would be. I am realativly new to tying and this vise has worked out well for me to this point but thinking of upgrading if there is a major advantage.
Thanks

Rotary Vise vs. standard ???
I use a both a Renzetti true rotary and a Dyna-King 'rotary' pretty much interchangeably for my tying.
I like the tension control I get with the Renzetti when I'm hackling - especially palmering, ribbing, winding floss, etc. I think consistent tension is a real plus when using 8/0 and smaller threads.
I find the Dyna-King more comfortable to use for positioning wings and tails because my hand rests nicely on the shaft. I think being comfortable helps make better flies - especially after a couple hours at the bench.
Bottom line, be sure to tie a few flies on a true rotary before you invest - it isn't an essential tool and you are the only one who can know if it's worth the cost.
