For many years I used an old Veniards vice I picked up from a second hand shop in Sheffield. Then I graduated to a Thompson A vice which was very good.

But these days I use a Griffin Odyssey Cam Vice, made in the USA. This thing is absolutely superb. It holds the hooks very well, even big ones used for salt water flies. And I can turn the fly at any angle, keeping the body of the fly level. I got the Griffin second hand from good old Steve Parton who told me in no uncertain terms that it was the only American vice worth looking at.

But what do you use?

LAW Bench Vice.

Worth every penny!!!

regent, the ones that go on about being rotatable, but I just find them easier to use when there all locked up. plus the jaws are chipped.... it doesnt take much! but its lasted a good year and I havent had too many problems with

Sloth - and gluttony.




Oh, and lust of course.
