After months of research, I decided to pull the trigger on upgrading to a new vise. I opted for the Dyna-King Trekker model over the similar Renzetti. Both vises are the leaders in their price range. The main selling point for me was the Dyna-king felt better made and more sturdy than the Renzetti. Both looks like that would do the job for both Trout and Bass flies. My Apex vise got me started, but I’m looking forward to the next level with Dyna-king.

I purchased my vise from Eldredge Bros Fly Shop in Maine. I highly recommend visiting their shop if you are in Maine.
