Renzetti Presentation 2000 Vise Review

An in-depth review on the great features and benefits of the Renzetti Presentation 2000.

[@simonsisneros4159]

Great video/review! I'm new to tying my own and considering upgrading the vise in my kit. Your explanation of the features that sold you on this model is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you! I’m glad I helped you out welcome to the addiction that is fly tying!

[@fabulousrobert6607]

Dude, I’m sold!!! I’m going with the Renzetti Presentation 👏🏼 Thanks for posting your video. Your review convinced me to go with this vice. I’m looking forward to start tying flies 😃👍🏼

[@maineonthefly6690]

That’s awesome good luck with your tying!

[@ryantherock7664]

Great review.I have the Traveler 2000 and love it.I don't feel like I need to upgrade and I tie a lot.If I did I would get the pres 2000

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you! I’m still tying on a Presentation 2000 to this day.

[@hughiegraves8901]

Thinking about getting this vice for awhile now thanks for the great review 👍

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful!

Thanks for the good review of the P2000's features. Although I'm waiting on my P2004-R to arrive, I found your review very helpful in better familiarizing me with it's capabilities. Your video should help me get up the learning curve a little faster on my first rotary vice.

[@maineonthefly6690]

I’m glad you found it helpful John you’ll love tying on a rotary vise!

[@sorhol]

Thanks for a great review. Just got my P2000 vice today.....

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful! How are you liking it?

[@sorhol]

@@maineonthefly6690 I am very happy with my purchase - Thank you

[@jamesgarrettson6752]

I love my Presentation 2000! Excellent review. I’ve had the traveler and this vise makes an excellent upgrade. The base and jaws alone are worth it. It also is aesthetically pleasing and makes for nice “presentation piece”.

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thanks James I’m glad you enjoyed the review!

[@michaelcarter5345]

Good review- lots of good information!

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you!

[@theghost2765]

Great video...

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you!

[@richardpigg1045]

Great review and thanks since there are very few reviews on Presentation. I currently tie with a Peak and it is a great vise but I am looking to upgrade and leaning toward the Presentation. I tie sizes 22 - 14 drys and midges, all fresh water. Why did you choose the 2000 over the 3000? Thanks Richard

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you! I prefer the jaw setup on the 2000 and to be honest I think it’s just a better looking vice.

[@kurtrout]

Excellent review. Another nice feature comparing it to the traveler series is that the head on these is a bit more refined/corrosion resistant. Thanks

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you I’m glad you liked it!

[@kurtrout]

Appreciate your Instagram posts too. Nice work

[@davidaguiar1387]

Oddly, only the P2000 and the (top of the line) Master have the both the jointed shaft and adjustable head angle features. Like you, I don't use those features often but they have come in handy from time to time. I own others but the R p2000 has become my go to vise for 99% of my tying.

[@maineonthefly6690]

I agree David it’s a fantastic vise at a great price I will definitely own the special edition black Master Vise one day though!

[@socal114]

Great review...I want the larger pedestal for the reasons you mentioned, but I also want the ability to take the vise with me on trips. Does the Presentation come with a case and do you think it would travel well?

[@maineonthefly6690]

Thank you! Unfortunately it does not come with a travel case but with simple hand tools can be disassembled easily for travel purposes.

[@socal114]

Is the standard pedestal on the Presentation the same that comes on the Traveler? I noticed they offer a "deluxe" pedestal for the Presentation.

[@maineonthefly6690]

The standard pedestal on the Presentation is larger than the one on the Traveler which is why I opted for the presentation. The deluxe pedestal that Renzetti offers is slightly thicker and has an additional recessed pocket for storage.

[@bluenewfie]

Hey bud great video. I'm trying to decide on my first rotary, are you still liking the 2000?

[@maineonthefly6690]

Absolutely, I’m still tying with it and I love it!

[@cameronhorner3817]

How is the rotary function? If you set it a a certain tension does it come loose over time? I am looking at renzetti for my next vice and I want one that when I turn it at any point on the 360 axis it will stay where i leave it. Do renzetti vises do this? I appreciate the vid man cause like you said there isn't alot of info on renzetti vises.

[@maineonthefly6690]

Hey Cameron, The rotary function on my Renzetti works flawlessly. I have mine set so that there is moderate amount of tension which allows it to rotate easily yet remain stationary when I want it to. I haven’t had any issues with it coming loose over time but I have had it back off from me placing my hand on top of the vise and inadvertently backing it off. I purchased a Renzetti solely off of reputation and I have not been disappointed. I hope this helps to answer your question and I am glad you found the video helpful!

[@cameronhorner3817]

Everything Maine Fishing while your tying if you accidentally loosen the set screw with a fly in the vice will the hook fall out of the vice?

[@maineonthefly6690]

Once you lock your hook into place I don’t think you’ll have any issues at all with the jaw adjustment screw backing off. I was referring to the rotary tension screw backing off because of where I tend to rest my hand at times. I hope that answers your question!

[@michaelmitchell3440]

Can you adjust the height at all?

[@maineonthefly6690]

No unfortunately the height is not adjustable.

[@chrisparsons000]

I just bought the presentation and the ratcheting is kinda annoying me any way I can turn that off
