I have been tying my bass flies on one for about 2 plus years now and I am very satisfied with the E-Z vise. I've tied LOTS of flies on it, using hooks from size 14 down to 3/0 with zero problems. I have a Regal with Midge jaws that I tie trout sized flies on, but I have zero complaints with my E-Z vise. Mine was money well spent.
