I use an Anvil that cost me about $100 at BPS, it is a rotary and holds up to 5/0 (probably one or two sizes bigger) I love this vice to no end, there is not a better vice on the market in the $100 range, I am in no way an expert and use it sole to tie jigs and feather trebles I use it for sizes #4- 5/0 hooks, save up and get a rotary it is worth the extra cash, I own a few cheap AA vices and they work great but having one that spins makes things 100% easier

I realy liked the 2nd one...all are nice..nothing beats catching fish except catching fish on a bait you made with your very own hands...good job homie
