5 Fly Tying Vises Under $50 (2022)

[@gerryhill5071]

Just a note on the terra vise. I picked one up at Cabela’s before watching your review. Afterwards, I planned to return it because I was having the same issue with the vise tightening after three rotations. I had a bunch of flies I wanted to tie for a trip, so I figured I would spin them up and bring the vise back the next day. After playing around a bit (the included instructions were not great) I discovered that getting the vise to rotate was just a matter of process. You have set the disc closest to the jaws so it is just far enough away to allow the jaws to rotate, then you tighten the smaller disc (the one with the handle) INTO the first one until it’s tight. Then the vise rotated freely and very smoothly. So for those of you considering the Terra vise, it does work well as a rotary vise.

[@laytonmarvin3790]

Thanks for the honest review Matt. This is so much more than a how to fly tying channel, please keep up the fantastic work. Thanks for giving back to the community.

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Layton! And hey, I think I saw you on IG. I'm giving that another shot this year. :-)

[@piercebruneau1284]

Thank you for the honest reviews! I was between the Terra vise and the sportsmans Colorado angler vise.. went with sportsmans for a few extra bucks and it's been worth it.

[@SavageFlies]

It sounds like you made the right call Pierce! I've played around with that rotary vise and it's actually a solid tool. J. Stockard sells the same thing, I think they call it their EZ Rotary. It might be time for me to do another review on this style vise. Thanks for the note. :-)

That was a hard review but nicely done 👍

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Jim! After playing with these two duds I thought about just not reviewing them. But then I thought it might save somebody out there from making a bad purchase. Who knows... but I was definitely disappointed with the one I got from Cabela's.

Thanks for the great reviews of these budget friendly #Vice This is the kind of information you search for as you get more involved in Fly fishing and trying to learn how to tie your own flys. No one (at least that I know) likes to throw money out the window and this really helps to avoid that.

Absolutely right David! And ohhh, I remember Miami Vice. I even liked Don Johnson in his Nash Bridges show a few years later. :-)

[@jeffjones553]

I just found your channel recently. You do an outstanding job getting content out. I have been looking for a new #vise, so this video was spot on! Are you still in the Savage River area? If so, we're more or less neighbors! Thanks for the video's and opportunity

Good information Matt! You're doing a great job of helping new tyers and the fly tying community in general. I've never had a Supreme but I would probably pick that one just to mess around with the different jaws! $20 worth of fun!

[@SavageFlies]

That's actually a good idea Daryl! I've never even pulled it apart to mess with the other jaws. Now you've given me something to do on the next night I'm not making a video. :-)

[@richarddavis8272]

#vise shame the cabelas vise messed up pretty cool looking for 50.00. I like your idea of having a light portable vise as travel vise. I'm looking at a few but they cost more.

Thanks Richard, and I was pretty bummed that vise didn't perform as good as it looked. It really is sharp!

Well thank you Marty; I appreciate the kind words. If I can encourage new tiers to get into the sport, it's all worth it. :-)

[@stevesok8917]

Nice to see affordable options and you did a real in depth review of each model. The biggest barrier to entry in fly tying is the price and this video just changed that.

Well thank you Steve; I appreciate the kind words! And I agree, I hate that it's so expensive sometimes.

Hi Matt. Once again, nice review. Your timing is unbelievable. Looking again for a #Vise but this one is for my son. He uses the one I got for my grandson. My grandson just told me he can't ty because dad's using it. Wish me luck

[@willhoward9865]

Nice review. I was looking for an inexpensive #vise to get my grandsons involved in tying. The Riverruns catches my eye, and the Maxcatch is a close second. I’ve never used the Terra vise, but I did buy their bobbin cradle for one of my vises. Simple, but works. I agree with you on the rotary function of the Terra. If it did that to me, I definitely wouldn’t endorse it.

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Will; I appreciate you seconding my opinion. :-) As for the Riverruns... it's solid. That would be a great intro for your grandsons. And if you get to spend time with them tying, that's worth far more than the money. :-)

[@benbarnes2819]

Really nice review. Good luck everyone. #vise

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

Hey Matt! Honest as always with the review, good stuff. It's really a shame about the Terra vise because it's a really nice looking vise for the money but like the old saying goes " looks aren't everything".

[@SavageFlies]

Yep, I'm wondering if I should give it another chance and return this one for a replacement. Maybe if I did and the second one had the same issue, we'd have our answer. But it is possible I just got a lemon.

[@davecalhoun7842]

Great run down, Matt. Especially given most people review the pricey vises, which is nice but not necessarily accessible for everyone. I enjoy using a $50ish crown rotating vise, though the jaws don’t really work for small (18 or smaller) hooks. I recommend that style along with the ones you’ve highlighted. Enjoy the channel! #vise

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Dave, and yes, I love the Crown! I almost included it in this batch but may review it separately. And I agree, down to a #14 or 16, that thing does great. Try to put an 18 or 20 in it and you might end up launching hooks across the room. :-)

[@davecalhoun7842]

I have sent some flying! I have a midge fly adapter that just goes into the jaws of the vise. Works fine, not ideal, but for about $4 it does the trick.

[@davehall2160]

Great review Matt, love to see and hear about new people tying It's a great feeling when you catch fish on a fly that you tied your self Thanks for all you do

Been fresh water for years and within the last five years I’ve been saltwater fishing mostly ground fishing cod/ haddock ect. My last trip out one of the mates a young lady was trying teaser’s and I brought 3 for $10 good deal I think but it intrigued me and think I’m going to go for it so much appreciate this advice/ video and going to explore more of your videos at 60 years old I need a hobby to keep me in my fishing room I built lol. Sorry for the long comment but as you know starting out don’t want to be too cheap but no need for top of the line so thanks again I’m glad I found your channel any advice I’m open to have a Merry Christmas and great new year.

[@smarais8784]

Matt, thank you for your great reviews. I am curious why you do not mention the hook sizes these vises can take? I understand the answer to the hook size might be "it depends". I think hook size will help folks decide what to get. Keep up these great reviews.

[@WhereWeWild]

Hey I just got a supreme and every time I try to lock it all the way down it opens back up and the hook falls out. Are you not supposed to lock it all the way down? It stays pretty tight with the lever not completely down but I thought it was supposed to be locked all the way down where the lever is 90 degrees?

[@SavageFlies]

That's odd. I can't remember having that problem when I tied with a Supreme. But it has been over a decade since I've used one regularly. If I recall, I did usually adjust the jaws so that I could lock it all the way down. If you're locking it down all the way and it has a tendency to want to pop back open, try to open the jaws just a bit and then lock it down.

[@WhereWeWild]

@@SavageFlies Ok thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I was trying that actually and just couldn’t seem to ever lock it all the way down without it opening back up. It holds a hook pretty tight with the lever bent to the point right before it clicks all the way down if that makes sense, but just thought it was supposed to be pushed all the way down so was wondering about it.

[@alexn8345]

Hey Matt, have you come across a good real true rotary vice for less than $100? I have 4 vices now, 2 of them are really old stationary similar to the first 2 you showed, and 2 rotate but aren't exactly great. Squeaks, doesn't rotate that smoothly, or they seize up like the one your showed on this video. The one I'm currently using all the time is a Cabela's $30 clamp one, and it squeaks when you rotate, doesn't rotate smoothly, and it's not really good for small flies, which I'm tying more these days. Thanks for the video!

[@SavageFlies]

Hi Alex. The Griffin Odyssey Spider is probably your best bet for a true rotary. It's nothing too fancy but you can tie pretty small on it and the ones I've played with are pretty smooth. amzn.to/3AQFNUj If you want to see it in action, I did a fairly brief review of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppmbc61rmsSAsMk

[@daviddaniels5677]

Awesome review of vises for new comers learning to tie fly’s. I would surely lean towards the $20 vise at this point. Great review! You mentioned the one vise was a Supreme vise. Which co makes that vise. I found various supreme vises. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks David, and that's an excellent question! Lots of vendors will market the Supreme. You'll find the same thing with the AA or Super AA (which is often included in tying kits). Here's the Supreme at J. Stockard. www.jsflyfishing.com/js-tools-supreme-vise But you can usually find it at Amazon and other places for about the same price. Sometimes you might see it marketed by "Colorado Anglers" or "Anglerhaus" etc. Hope this helps!

[@FlyTyer1948]

I’m really happy that you are reviewing inexpensive vises as possible choices for new tyers. I’ve seen some recent video and a print reviews that say new tyers should start out buying a lifetime vise which I think could be a costly choice. I wish everyone would love tying, but that is just a wish. With a good quality, inexpensive vise, a new tyer can find out if he or she likes tying, can afford more materials on the $ saved, & gain enough experience to find out what types of flies they want or need to tie & what features they want in a lifetime vise before deciding if they want continue tying. Future video idea: Some kind of fly tying spelling contest with a wacky but useful prize featuring vise vs. vice, tier vs. tyer, aftershaft vs. filo plume, etc. ;-)

[@SavageFlies]

This is a great comment Bob and I agree 100%. I might mention this in my next vise review. I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with starting with an economy vise. If you find you like the sport you'll likely want to upgrade in a couple of years anyway, and now you'll have a backup vise or one you can donate to a kid or another new tier. And worse case scenario, if you find you don't really care for tying, you're not out that much. :-)

[@davidclunk8126]

Good review of some inexpensive vises for beginners !! Any one of the 3 you did like would be a great addition to my travel bag when I go to a show to demonstrate tying & my flies. It would be great to set one up to allow anyone interested in trying to tie a fly.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Heck it would be worth getting one of those vices just for the c-clamp if your vice didn't come with one. I don't know what Renzetti gets for their c-clamp but I'm betting it's more than $20. Keep the good stuff coming Matt. I guess you could use those other 2 vices for each end of bush machine. #vise

[@SavageFlies]

That's actually a great idea for a brush making machine! I've seen a few DIY and review videos on them and they look like it wouldn't be too hard to make one out of a couple of boards and some eyelets.

[@michaelmerlino6753]

Cut all the bells and whistles as a beginner.Purchase the Supreme to begin and keep the other $25 towards a quality vise.Take it from a tool and vise “junkie”

[@SavageFlies]

That's not a bad idea Michael. You can easily get a few good years out of a Supreme!

[@kevinboyd1888]

Matt from the vises under $100 video I’ve been considering the crown vise. It looks easier to use/setup than some of the others. Do you still recommend it if a starter vise? Unfortunately I didn’t find your videos until after I bought the Colorado kit after so far I have tied around 200 flies before the jaws started to let the hook slip.

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks for the question Kevin, and I do actually still recommend the Crown. Unless... you tie a lot of flies smaller than a #18. It has great hook-holding power and can work down to a #20 or so but you have to put a pretty big bite on the hook and it doesn't leave you with a lot of room for material. For standard trout sizes in #12-14 or bigger it works like a champ. And you're right, there is hardly any setup at all to it. The first time you use it you might loosen one bolt to get a comfortable angle, then you won't have to mess with it again.

[@bandito85fx]

Matt, thanks for the review and comparison of the maxcatch and river runs #vise I have been leaning towards the maxcatch. Now after your video, the river runs wins. You can use the bag as a dust cover when mounted on the bench.

[@SavageFlies]

Actually that's a great idea! I think the Maxcatch might *look* a little cooler with the shiny aluminum and green color, but for functionality, I probably like the Riverruns just a bit better. Their knobs for adjusting the post and barrel are a little bigger and easier to turn by hand. And yeah, the bag is cool too. :-)

I bought the first vise in this list almost a year ago bassed on ur review from before and I love it .... I almost bought the maxcatch but it was a little more and i couldnt get it shipped to Canada thanks

[@SavageFlies]

Yeah, I know how expensive shipping to Canada can be! But I'm glad the Supreme is still working out for you. :-)

[@chevyguy6510]

Thanks for the review videos Matt. My brother just took up fly fishing after seeing my excitement for it and now he wants to start tying. If I win one of these it will go to him. #vise

Very good reviews. Thanks Matt. #vise

[@daleweller5193]

I was hoping the rotary vice was going to be better.

[@Hunter711pa]

Thanks for the review Matt any of those three vices would make a great back up vice or it’s nice to have a good spare for teaching step by step to beginners. #vice

[@SavageFlies]

Absolutely right David! PS: check your spelling. It's vise with an s or else the comment picker won't see yours. Good luck my friend!

[@kevinboyd1888]

#vice. Thanks for the info please keep it coming. New to tying and your content has been very helpful.

[@SavageFlies]

Thank you Kevin; I appreciate the kind words! And PS: check your spelling... its' vise with an s or the comment picker won't find this one. But believe me, you're not the only one who has commented with "vice." :-)

[@jamesbutler6261]

Thanks for putting out another great video. There is so much to learn about in the fly-tying world. #Vise

The Maxcatch is the bomb! Thanks to Matt I picked this one up, and 43 dollars was very well spent. My dad (a mechanical engineer) was very impressed with the overall quality of aluminum, and pretty decent machining. The clamp is great, great holding power, and pretty easy use. Only con for the price is a little tiny wobble.

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Nolan; I appreciate the feedback! The engineering some of these overseas companies can pull off really is impressive sometimes. As for the little wobble on the Maxcatch, I have one myself, have given two away and have one more to give out so I've actually had four in my hands. I only noticed the wobble in one of them. Now they do come with two sizes of rubber O-rings but I've never explored where you might put them or really where they may be needed.

[@missiondiscover]

@@SavageFlies good point...I may try one of those o rings and see if it'll work

[@toddslichter7831]

Great reviews, Matt. A couple of those vises look like they would be good for beginners or as a travel vise. Thanks for all you do for our sport.

[@SavageFlies]

Yes indeed Todd. The last two are perfect for traveling. Only about 10 ounces, and they're both really stable when clamped to a bench or table.

[@davidfessel3824]

I’m new to tying and never thought about a travel vise. Also I’m trying to get my son into tying flies so this sounds like a great gift idea. #vise

[@SavageFlies]

Definitely is David! And good luck to you my friend. :-)

[@robertsmith6504]

Thanks for another great video Matt. I was looking at picking up the maxcatch #vise

[@SavageFlies]

You're welcome Robert! And while I don't tie a ton on my Maxcatch, it's always been pretty easy to work on. PS: check your spelling and change it to #vise. :-)

[@neilcox2739]

The Supreme looks like a good standby vise. Thanks for the reviews Matt

[@SavageFlies]

Definitely not a bad backup vise Neil. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinhamby9710]

Great review very helpful I’ve been looking for new vise your videos are great #vise thanks for what you do

[@SavageFlies]

You're welcome Kevin! I appreciate you watching my friend!

#vice thanks matt

You're welcome Franky! Good luck my friend. :-)

[@BlueLinerMedia]

I’m glad you reviewed the Terra Rotary Vice! That is the vice that I actually use and I was upset when I found out how it worked! But….i was able to find out a way to make it work for me and now it works really well as a rotatary vice! I just take a very strong super glue or epoxy and coat the thread on the main shaft where the tensioning nut is and make sure the tensioning nut is tightened to your desired tension. Then let the tensioning nut and lever/handle nut cure to the main shaft and it all becomes one unit. If you have the tension set right when it cures then it works wonderfully! Just don’t let the glue get in the main housing! Haha if you haven’t thrown it away or sent it back yet you should try it just to see how it works👍🏼

[@SavageFlies]

Outstanding tips! I will give it a shot. I’m usually too lazy to send anything back so if I can make it work, I could do a how-to video for anyone else out there who has the same problem. Thank you for this!

[@BlueLinerMedia]

@@SavageFlies works well for me, but of course once the tension is set to how you want it it cannot be adjusted after it sets up👍🏼 good luck!

[@johnsaylock5095]

On my supream, I used blue loctite on all the small hardware. They tend to undo them selves.

[@SavageFlies]

Great tip John! Thanks for the note my friend. :-)

[@rumzilla04]

I agree with your review of the YZD vise that is the one I have currently and I had to use pliers to tighten the screws. #VISE

[@SavageFlies]

Thank you for this feedback. Just looking at the pictures online I was thinking it could really have been a decent vise. But at least the one I got didn't turn out to be.
