I use the Nor-Vise with the fine point jaws and big rear hub. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Well, a million bucks I would trade for and then I could just buy a new one!

I ONLY use the fine point jaws and tie tiny flies and huge 10+/0. The key is to bury the shank in the jaws and tighten just tight enough to hold the hook. You'll want the auto bobbins too.
