Regal vises are the real deal. Mine is over 30 years old. I've just added some new jaws and shanks to my original bronze base. The stainless jaws are incredible for small flies, and the shank jaws just won't let go.

You added the jaws? Not Regal (no sarcasm - curious).

nice james woods bucktail

Thank you! I knew that fly had a proper name but couldn't remember it. Did Woods also have a self-named calf tail wing stimulator fly?

That would be the Norm Woods Special. This one’s a foam-bodied variation

I just had to try some of these fly lipps to see if I could mimic the action of a plug with a flutter of a fly. Obviously need to change out the stinger.

It's dirty... And we will have to see how much it fouls.

Could also be fun to try for tuna
