Mike I use my Dyna King Barracuda for all my saltwater tying but it isn't a cheap vise. They do make a smaller more portable vise by Dyna King that looks very nice. I think Tony has one. I've thought about getting it for the portability. I know I'll start something here but I haven't found a vise yet that I like better for the hook holding ability of this vise and I tie some pretty large involved saltwater flies. There are also a lot of accessories you can add down the road to the vise.... makes for a nice Christmas and Birthday list. :) Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 10:15 AM Subject: RE: [VFB] Saltwater Flies
