Melk,

I fell for the seduction of a new vise at the Edison show, and a "regular" version of the TRV came home with me. Generally speaking, I am very pleased with the vise after putting about 6 dozen flies through it. I tie trout flies almost exclusively, with most sized between 14 and 20. I am generally very pleased with the performance of the vise. It is a very stable platform to tie upon, the jaws hold very well, and the angle of the jaw holds from the bottom of the hook, and really gets out of the way of the rear of the hook leaving lots of room to work on the tail, or otherwise on the rear of the hook.

I was coming off of a stainless steel Regal Medallion, which in my opinion is the ultimate trout fly vise. I have a small collection of quality vise's, and this one fits in nicely with the collection. It is amazing what catches our eye, and extracts our dollars.
