Fly tying vice

[Chase]

Hi Everyone ,
I am looking to replace my vice of probably 30 years standing - The jaws are losing their grip .
I tie sizes 10 down to 20 . There seems to be a huge choice out there !
The vice I have currently came from the original Lathkill tackle when it was run by Philip White  and is not branded .
I obviously don't want to get a bank loan for one !
I would like to be able to alter the angle of the head and also rotate the jaws .
Any recommendations would be appreciated .

I have an Anvil Apex and have had no problems in three years regular tying with it. I tie from about a salmon size 3 to 16s usually. They are American manufactured and well made. They have gone up a bit in price because of the fall in the value of the pound recently but £115 should get you one.

Another vote for the Anvil Apex.

Another from me! Handles from tiny to 6/0 no problem at a reasonable price.

I've got the anvil atlas, bit more expensive but can't fault it, really well made and I like using it.

Your post Prompted me to have a look and I've found that I too have the Atlas and not the Apex. Great vice. I've also got a Dyna King vice and that too is a fantastic and very well made tool. Unfortunately my model didn't have the rotating head so I got the Anvil for that feature. I tend to do all of my flies on that now.

Great choice. High quality but still sensibly priced

I also have the atlas which I got from Harvey angling, might be worth contacting them to see if there if they have any left and a deal to be done in their closing down sale

Atlas here aswell, don't try and be savvy buying it cheaper from the states like me, got hit with a £30 customs charge which put it over the price I would have paid in the uk. Doh.
