I purchased the Danvise because of the price point, reviews, and how it worked. I did some research and I purchased it.
Why it sucks and I returned it...
-Made of plastic
-Jaws are too close to the body. ( purchased the extension arm for it if you need it let me know I will sell it for $10 bucks )
-Jaws were not holding size 14 or smaller hooks tight
- Rotary Part was not smooth and got worse.
Maybe I got a crappy one but I contacted the company and that was a joke.. They did not care.
Well so I took it back to Cabelas and talked to a few guys their and upgraded to the Griffin Blackfoot Mongoose Fly Vise. It did not have Cam Lock Jaws but they sell an add on for that if I need it.
What are your thoughts on this new vise. I tied 3 flies at cabelas with it and works nice feels nice. I will post some photos of my first flies on it later
