RE: [VFB] Nor-Vice Question

[Deborah Duran]

Del I ended up selling my Nor-Vise to one of the fellows on the FF@ list.   With that vise I would suggest borrowing one for a while before you buy it.  I didn’t like the bobbin either, it wasted a lot of thread and I didn’t like having to respool all my thread.  Think of the investment you’re making if you want to keep more than a few colors of thread spooled at a time.     You tie more creative flies than production flies so I’m not sure it would be the vise for you either.   I couldn’t get the tension on the material or the control I like when I used the vise the way it was designed to be used.   I can see where someone that ties 4 dozen wooley buggers at time would like it but I don’t think it would even be the best choice for the small wet flies you like to tie.   I didn’t like the jaws on the vise either.   I think Dyna King has one of the best vises, by far the best jaws on a vise.  I like the LAW vise a lot also but the price and the conversion rate doesn’t make that a very practical choice. With the Norvise you either love it or hate it but it’s an expensive investment to make to find out it isn’t the vise for you.  Deb     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 6:35 AM To: vfb@troutnet.com Subject: [VFB] Nor-Vice Question   I am thinking about upgrading to a better vice. What do you think about the Nor-Vice?? Praise? Complaints? Comments?                                                                 Del
