First of all, I've been watching from the sidelines on here for a while, just never posted. Have been tying for around 20 yrs on old hand-me-down equipment and think it is time for some upgrades.

I am in need of a new vise, have a pretty cheapy one now that won't hold a hook without some help, so anything is better. Been looking at the Griffin Odyssey Spider. Anyone on here use one or know it? Would it work ok for both jigs and flies, mostly fishing for crappie, gills and sm/lm bass? The cost is around $80, wanted to stay under $100, but the next level of rotary is a big jump in price.... what's different about the Spider?

No rotary now so didn't know if I should just stick with a straight simple vise and save my money...... well, use it for other materials anyways.

Thanks for any info. - AtticaFish
