Default Yet to tie a thing...

I'm intending trying my hand at tying some flies this winter and have been recommended to invest in a Regent Rotating Vice, so I'd be grateful for opinions please. Second has anyone had experience of buying from no14fishing on ebay?
He's currently selling them at less than half rrp.

Thanks

I use them all the time.

Fantastic seller, very very quick delivery.

They are great for some items, but i STRONGLY recommend you dont buy capes from them.

I Bought alot from them, and have only ever had a problem with their capes. They are extremely poor quality.

But everything else came fast and worked as it should.

Good vice, perfect if you dont want to splash out. Make sure the hook is fully in the vice though as it can spring out if not

Fly Tying Vices & Tools - Black Master - Bobin Holder - Brass Bullet - Bobbin Holder - Thumb Disc

These are the same vices at a great price and I think the p&p is only a £1.

yep, the regent vice will serve you well. Just replaced mine last month with a Anvil Atlas after 20 - 25 years loyal service!

Great name btw.

Welsh guy (doh!!) Gareth Evans was a striker with us in the 90s... He's still with the club as a coach and stand in assistant manager after Colin Calderwood was (thankfully) given his jotters earlier this evening.
