I have a Regal vise that I bought 30 years or so ago and I noticed the other day that it had been hard to squeeze the handle to open the jaws. In fact it may have been that way for several years but it wasn't until this steelhead season that I noticed it was problematic getting the salmon sized hooks in there. Then it dawned on me that it wasn't because I had become a 70 year old wimp, but because the cam needed a shot of oil. What a difference! I now don't need to pull a ligament to set up an AJ #3.
