Default SNOWBEE WALDRON VICE

Im thinking strongly of buying one of these vices within the next few days.
The best price i can find is 234 euro with atkins. Does anyone know where i can get a better deal?. I Would rather give my money to someone else as past experience with this crowd has not been good. However money is tight and il go with whoever has the best price
Thanks in advance
Mick

Smile Snowbee Waldron Fly Vice

Hi Mick
Devon Angling Centre have 10% off for the end of the season their SWFV is £179.00. I think their website is Fishing Tackle, Carp Tackle, Sea Fishing, Coarse Fishing, Tackle Supplies. I believe its a great vice and I'm thinking of getting one myself.

Good luck

BK

Mick,

I have the pedestal version. It came discounted from from Devon Angling Centre and their service was excellent.

I haven't regretted getting it one bit. Comes in a well made carrying case too - a nice touch.

Mick,

Don't hang around... the discount is usually 10% through Devon Angling Centre as BK says, but at the moment it's up to 20%!

I looked around but i think the price you found is very good, i'm also in the market for a new vice. I'm currently using a DK Supreme but ever since they came out i wondered about the snowbee Waldron vices. Last week, i tied three flies with it and was very impressed....

I dumped a Dyna King for the Snowbee Waldron and am very glad i did.
I have been using it for a couple of years now and it suits me perfectly.
A vise IMO is all about the jaws everything else is secondary, the jaws are rock solid and can do anything from big pike flies down to wee daft dries with very little mucking about.
I can't speak highly enough of it.

Angry Snowbee Waldron Fly Vice

Hi Mick
Bad news I'm affraid I went to order my vice at £179 and the offer has been withdrawn. It was definately on the Internt four days ago at this price. The offer has gone I think it may have been a mistake. Devon Angling Centre are offering 10% off on top of any other discount but not on Snowbee products. The vice has been discounted by 20% to £199. There are other fly fishing equipment suppliers offering the vice at the same discounted price. I spent last night trying to find it cheaper but failed.
