Tom I have the Renzetti Traveler and I don't think it's as good. I have heard good things about the Master. I think this is a better choice for a Renzetti vise. I find that you quickly outgrow the smaller vises if you tie a lot. My husband bought my Dyna King or I would have gotten the full sized Baracuda. I think I will either trade mine or buy the large Baracuda eventually. He keeps teasing me and saying he wants the large Dyna King (he doesn't tie flies yet). I did get a complete Norvise system at our end of the year auction for UFT. No one wanted to bid on it so I grabbed it for $165 opening bid with the base and bobbin set. I have yet to use it. I still am not sure I like it but I haven't honestly given it a try. I will get to it eventually. It seems more like a production fly tyers vise. It would take a lot of adjustment to get used to it.

About the smallest I tie on would be a 22, and the largest 8/0. I have had NO problems with hooks slipping out of the jaws. Quite frankly, if the hook is put in them properly, I am at a loss for why that would happen with this vise in the first place. The reason I got this vise is because it was advertised as the vise accomodating the largest range of hook sizes. > My only criticism of the Renzetti Master would be the space behind the hook seems a bit awkward, less open, or some perception in this regard, that makes it seem more difficult to do work on the tail end of certain saltwater flies & streamers. The Dyna-King Barracuda would be my choice if I were getting a vise today. I'm also looking at the Norvise, which seems to be state of the art for true rotary tying. > > Have fun shopping! > > Tom Tully, PA-C > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Idaho Falls, Idaho >
