The only time jaw size should come up is if you are tying on hooks larger than 1/0 or smaller than 18. Almost all vises will handle hooks between these two sizes.

The review is very kind but needs an addition. The vise table clamp is really crude and slightly undersized. I paint them and put on pads to make it look and function better. The bobbin rest sucks...

There has always been a demand for high quality spincast reels. I wish I knew why Zebco finally figured it out. Maybe the upper management finally retired and younger blood took over with more...

I misread your post. The ZO2 is the UL reel. I am positive it will handle 2# line with no problem and I have it on my UL rod.

Bass Pro has them in the new fishing catalog but I bought mine at Poorfish.com. They make the ZO2 in the Omega and Delta. The Omega is a few dollars more. Now they have the Omega ZO3Pro at...

Wow all I can say is WOW. I just got my my new Zebco ZO2. It has 7 BB and comes with 6# Cajan line. I know this is not UL as it is 6# but the performance is outstanding. I used a 1/8 oz weight on a...

JNC even sells a bait slingshot but it is really bad. The one in the vid is really nice and easy to make. You can make one with a small funnel. Maggots stay alive linger under water than any...

Thanks for that link. Like you said the link I posted was to show size. The ones on E Bay were pricey but they are nice. The one you gave is the one I purchased. Great tool even tho it is from...

I agree 100%. Anyone can find 30 minutes. There are many days that 30 minutes is all I have and I can tie 2 to 4 jigs in that time. Lets say you tie 2 jigs a day, in one week that is 14 jigs and...

Check out jig tying on YOU TUBE. There is more information in there than you can believe. I would also recommend you go the the NOR VISE web site and check out his videos on tying methods on the...

Do you have enough reviewers?

Wow all I can say is WOW. I just got my my new Zebco ZO2. It has 7 BB and comes with 6# Cajan line. I know this is not UL as it is 6# but the performance is outstanding. I used a 1/8 oz weight on...

For a starter vise my favorite was the Thompson model B and the Herters that you have is probably the one made by Thompson and a copy of the B. I used the Herters vise all through high school in the...

Does anyone know of a decent starter vise under 40.00? So far all the ones I have seen have horrible reviews. Biggest complaint is that they do not hold the hook. I bought a vise for around 20.00...

Here you go

I will try and run down a link. I got so frustrated trying to use the standard Matarelli on jigs I almost gave up. I was watching someone do a large salt water jig and he talked about the extended...

It took me a long time to get that thing down when I first started. The best whip finisher I have ever used and a good import model works well. I ended up getting the extended reach model for jigs...

Well here is the first problem with this forum stuck inside of another. We may be getting lots of these. Are we ready for a sticky yet?

Great idea. One of the rules that needs to be in place is that no moderator can test or review a vise and no moderator can change or add to the review as it is written unless it violates forum...

The one material I have never used is Kiptail. So far it is ahead of anything else. Can someone tell me why it is so good?

Question, if you could only use one tying material what would you choose? This should be interesting and for those who normally do not post here is your chance to be part of a thread...It should be...

Always did like red and white. Boy that is one good looking vise.

Do you have to do anything to a blood hook before soldering it to a blade?

What a fantastic combo. That company has been making rods for a long time and was a leader in the short rod revolution in the 60's. It also has free shipping and is selling less than 50% off on the...

They are right up there with Dyna King and Renzetti. There is another high end vise made by the Swiss that is in this class. Same guy that designed the Cobra for Thompson. You have to be serious...

Those are great rods. Redington was one of the few rod makers in the 60's that made short rods. They have been noted for high quality at a reasonable price. If anyone was remotely interested in...

There is now a thread on how to make a tube fly mandrel.

I know the man that imports Dan Vise and he stands behind the product and gives great service. He is also the guy that wrote the book on Rotary Tying. From what I understand this is not a problem...

The jaws on the Dan Vise are as strong as you can get but that is also a flaw. If you set the tension wrong it will bust the jaws. You really need to be super careful on setting the jaw pressure. ...
