I had a Dynaking Barracuda that work very well, but traded it for a Nor Vise and never looked back. The ease in which the Norvice can apply materials to the hook is amazingly fast and simple once you learn to use it. The automatic bobbin adds to the versatility of the inline rotary vise. The Norvise does have an offset jaw accessory I find helpful when tying on small hooks. If you know someone with this vise I recommend giving it a try. There is a learning curve, but well worth the time mastering the vice and bobbin. Once you get it, you get it!
