Vise vices!

[bugman]

in my experience with different vices each of them has disadvantages as well as advantages over another...... all a vise is supposed to do is hold a hook and do it well without letting the hook slip up or down or even worse, let the hook pop out when your just about to finish a fly... ive had several vices as i went along, some worse or better than others... i like the danvise myself but it could use a little more room behind the jaws for tying large flies... i made a slight modification to the cam arm which used to hang down under the jaws so that it is on top the jaws and folds up beside them to lock the hook in... that added better ballance to the rotary function also... i can tie flies ranging from 2/0 on down to 30 with it...
