fly vise help

[David Fliger]

Hey Scott,   Let me start off with the fact that my fly tying experience on different vises is limited.  My first vise was a joke ( essentially a pair of vise grips ) and my second vise is a griffin odyssey.  I love this vise.  I have not used a renzetti or nor-vise or dyna king vise so I cannot compare them.  And the Cabelas price you state seems high.  I just received my 2002 jannsnetcraft catalog (www.jannsnetcraft.com) and it lists the odyssey vise for 69.95.  The Cabelas vise you are looking at could have the cam jaw thus making it a cross of the patriot and odyssey vises.  My vise does not have the cam jaw but I still have no problem holding hooks, now my only problem is my three left thumbs when I tie.   HTH Flig
