If you haven't read the update on the vises yet, the new one is at www.flyfisherman.com. I just read all of the today. Still can't afford that LAW...the Thompson A and the Danivise are still doeing fine for me (although I did buy the extended arm from Al Beatty for the Danvise, to make it more funtional for larger flies).

He knows I'll place another order before Sowbug and add it on as my dues are up in April. Hey Byard, did you dun me yet or should I put it on the order? Can I use my gift certificate on this order or do I need to use it on the one after? Hmmm, I could pay my dues and ask for a certificate by email and then place an order? Maybe I should get another cap instead? Hey, any of those IOFF versions available? What colors of what are in stock? This order is looking a bit large. Is there a "volume discount level" or should I just keep hitting you with small ones? ;-))) (He might be my friend but I AM a bit "Dutch" being from PA Dutch country) One thing I really liked with my last order were the wing cutters. What materials does the VFB list recommend to use with them? Also, Byard showed me the UV Knot Sense system and I really think I'm going for this. Little things like Swax (have hi-tack and it is too much for fine thread), more C&F boxes, some silk, new dubbing (Ice now has steelhead set and STS Salmon...plus I ask which dubs better..Superfine or Stalcup), that blue peacock neck has me thinking a twist on Meck's Patriot and a unique wet fly idea, and where is the essential guide to choosing CDC as I had a fair amount but am trying to use my Magic Tool plus am curious about oiler puffs. BTW, my "Byard's Gallows Tool" has a broken tension arm. What size rubberbands should I get? ;-) Also, I have read and re-read all the reviews Hans did on vises and am curious about the Mongoose (ring issue). I almost exclusively tie trout and steelhead flys from size 6 to 24. My current vise is an AK Best (paid $200 used when it listed $300) and I considered the Renzetti Traveler at one point. Which vise would you all suggest under $300 or preferably under $200? I'd like to have such things as a bobbin cradle and be able to setup my gallows tool. Ideas???? PLEASE?
