I am completely new to fly tying - this vice has made entering the hobby so much easier and relaxing. I had originally purchased a low-quality Amazon recommended vice for almost the same price as this, and it was absolute garbage. This vice is incredibly well made; the materials rotate smooth and precisely, and the quality is very high. I ordered the package which came with the case and stand, and the stand is absolutely worth the purchase if you are not a fan of the vice-clamp option. I like how sleek the design is, and while I have only practiced with tying larger size ocean hooks I can tell that this vice supports hooks of all sizes. The materials feel very sturdy and I am sure this vice will last me many years until I feel professional enough to upgrade to a vice with more bells and whistles!

I have two 7'6" rods and two 7'4" rods and these nylon rod sleeves are exactly what I wanted for my freshwater smallmouth fishing. Couldn't be happier!!!

Decently priced and worth the wait
