Tony,
Take a look at the Dan Vice. Al Beatty, a sponsor here, deals in them. I think it is a good, all around rotary vice for a good price. Regards...

I have used a Griffen Rotary vise for the last couple of years and it is good if you are still getting the hang of it, but the Dan Vise is great.
Used my sunrise for almost 15 yrs and no problems..

Barracuda by DynaKing is a great rotary vise. It's expecially good for tying larger flies like saltwater flies and big streamers. It's about $350. There are several models of the Barracuda. Here is a link to their website. http://www.dyna-king.com/flyvise.asp?pv=0

Give this thread a day or two, and every rotary vise will be listed here. I have the Renzetti traveler (cam style head), and heard that the Peak vise is a little less costly but performs the same.
Best advise I can suggest is to evaluate all of them in your price range, and try to tie on each of them to make your final decision. I think they are all good, but each has little nuances that tickle our fancies differently.
Here's a pretty good review of rotary vises under $150. http://flyfishohio.com/Vise%20Review%20 ... ot-Out.htm
Good luck!

Be sure to look at and/or try the Peak vise. It's priced less than some of the big names - but I've tried them all (or most anyway) and like it the best.
