Danvise saltwater jaws?

[quivira kid]

Hey guys, does anyone know where to get a set of saltwater/big fly jaws for a Danvise? The 1/2 and 5/8 oz jigs I am wanting to work up arent holding too well in the standard jaws I have. I've seen rumors of them, but haven't found anywhere to buy them.

Option #2 is going to be buy the saltwater jaws for my Peak and just swap em out when I need to tie the big boys....

Just get one of the old cast iron Herters vises . They are just a side lever action and will hold an anvil . I have 2, been hooks 9/0 tied on them all sizes and a bunch . Couldn't even say how many over the years .

The Good Old Thompson .. Red Knob .. will hold them all

Zac would have to go with Jim's suggestion. Those old Thompson's are a darn hard vice to beat. Have one of the old Herter's vice and can do about any thing with them. From a size 18 to 4/0. and will hold in place so that you can do what needs to be done.

The one on FAOL is the Modern Model A vise. I'd still rather have the Original Thompson and JSC is right the old round knob vise by Thompson is hard to beat

Ah okay.... well, I have an option or two to work with I guess. Thanks guys!

The poor guy was asking about a set of jaws for his existing vise.You guys are trying to get him to buy another vise.What if it was you?Would you go and buy another vise to tie some bigger jigs and flies?I don't think so,lol.

Truthfully Salty and I don't know the Danvise, but something just for big jigs and don't have to change jaws around?? Yeah probably!!

Considering you can pick an old vise up for 15 bucks , hell yea I'll buy another .

It takes like 3 minutes to change the jaws out.
