Reviewed by: Anonymous User ,  30 days a year , from Wrightwood, Ca. USA

Body of Water:
small rivers & streams

Summary:
I started out learning how to tie flies using this vise and borrowing it from my fly fishing club over 6 years ago. In my honest opinion it's the best vise to learn how to tie flies and the best vise for under $100 on the market. I would very highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get started in tying flies. Then after they learn the ropes and want to upgrade they will have a better understanding of what they really want.
Don't be like me, after using this vise I bought the following vises: a regal type, then a Orvis DanVise, and finally a Dyna-King Barracuda Junior. I should have stuck to the Thompson A until I was ready for the 'cuda. I would have saved some money!

Strengths:
Well built, strong and durable.

Weaknesses:
Jaws are a little large for tying small midges.

Customer Service:
Don't know.

Similar Products Used:
Dyna-King Barracuda and Barracuda Junior, Danville Rotary, Regal type, and Renzetti 3000 Series.

Reviewed by: Anonymous User ,  50+ days a year , from Princeton, IN. 47670

Price Paid:  $38.00 at Larry's Sporting Goods

Body of Water:
Bennett Springs

Favorite City:
Lebanon

Favorite State:
Missouri

Favorite Country:
USA

Summary:
Good vise for the money.

Strengths:
Well made, solid. Easy to use. I like it on a base rather than the c clamp holder. Can accomodate a wide range of hook sizes. I tie a lot of Woolies and it is perfect for this application.

Weaknesses:
Jaws are a little to big for midge size hooks, however they can be used in this vise.

Customer Service:
Excellent.

This is my first vise.
