Somewhat related- Many years ago I was shopping for my first vise at the Prairie Du Chien,Wisconsin Cabelas. I asked the guy that way waiting on me what his favorite vise is. He answered that he used to tie and sell 10s of thousands of crappie jigs each year. He tied them all on a little 4" hobby style bench vise. lol He said he liked the way he could rest his left hand heel on the vise jaws while he whipped out a jig. He still recommended a tying vise for tying a wide range of jigs and flies. I settled on the peak pedestal for being stable and easy put away when not using. I gave my vise and a lot of supplies to my Marine- grandson a year ago. but bought another peak a while back.
Good job grand dad. That will be many memory's for both of you. Thank him for his service for me, 4 year Marine myself. Semper Fi young man

I made a custom vice 40 years ago and used it ever since. Had a thompson vice worked fine for small flies but for jigs was not really good. So I cut the end off and welded on a small vice grips and have used it ever since. Love it.
