I use a Griffin odyssey spider vice, bout 70 bucks. Works great for a cheap vice.
Loaded question I know, but I don't fish with hand ties much. I would like to tie some and need a vise since I can't find the old cheap one I had. I have an amazon.com gift card that I got for Christmas, so I'd like to limit this to vises sold on there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot advise what is best, as I'm just a beginner. But I bought a vise, used on eBay. It was like $13 but add shipping and I paid over $20 for it. It didn't have an original box, so I don't know what model it was called. It is an import from India. I identified it as similar to a Super AA vise. It was in good shape so I can use it. It has a C clamp base, and I have a wooden desk, or my kitchen table is also wooden. I haven't used it yet because I haven't ordered my materials, but I'd like to get some thin slats of wood to place on the desk or table before I use it to prevent marring the wood with the C clamp.Sent from my Pixel 3 using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app

On Amazon there is a cheap rotary.

Not on Amazon but J. Stockard has great selection and some rotary vises for $60.

Any one of these will work for an occasional tie.

I’ve looked at all the vises on amazon but was not impressed by the reviews on the cheaper ones.
Like most things you get what you pay for! Best thing you can do is go to a fly shop or Bass Pro and look at the vises and see how they work.
I personally do not know any cheap good vises. I can't recommend things I have not used or seen first hand.

This is the one I’m using and fairly satisfied with it.

But if I bought another griffin I’d buy this one just because I like the cam action over the knob for tightening.

If I buy another vise this is probably what I will buy.
