rare to see another post from mississippi. i was in similiar situation several years ago and bought the griffin spider vise, which is light years ahead of the "kit" products that i had and i am well pleased with it, but rate my opinion inferior to those previous post who have experienced other models and know very well what they are speaking
of from my experiences with their input in the past. i would also rather buy from just about anyone other than bass pro on line. shopping in the store is probably a totally different experience. good fishin to you.
