I recently last Oct upgraded to a Renzetti 4000 presentation vise. A friend of mine gave me his old traveler a few years back due to my vise growing legs and walking away. Its a great vise. I tie small flies. mostly trout. I was going to go with the master but I just could not justify dropping that kind of money. I took the difference and bought some feathers and hooks. Dave's vise, still will do the job. Its amazing how durable they are, and they make parts should you have the need to fix something broken. I don't think they ever break. I tied for years on a first gen Regal. That one was the first good vise I bought. There are a lot of good vises along with a lot of junk. Still on the old Thomson A I got in '64. I use it from time to time because well I can and at times I am still that 9 year old boy.
