Len, my second vise was a Danvise, and it's a decent vise. I would call it the upper-end model of the lower-end products, but that's just me. It will do what you need it to, but I would recommend you step up to a Griffin. But it also depends on what your purpose is. For general crappie jig tying, you don't need a complex vise; a cheap Master will suit your needs. But if you get into tying flies smaller than what- a size 8, you might look into a better vise. One thing I would recommend for your vise is a material clip that sits somewhere behind the jaws of the vise. It comes in handy for holding materials out of the way that had to be attached to the hook, but will not come into use until later. They are usually just a spring that is attached to the back of the vise.
