    We have been tying on Regal Medallion vises for over 20 years and love them. Many Alaskan guides swear by Regals for their ability to hold a big hook, change out hooks quickly and their overall durability. Regals have a unique jaw that you squeeze open and then release to hold the hook. It is hands down the strongest and quickest jaw you will find. The rotary head makes holding the fly at any angle a breeze. When you invest in a Regal vise it is truly a lifetime purchase. 


    This vise is the Regal Medallion with Standard Jaw. It can be switched from right hand tyer to left hand tyer if necessary. We have them in stock and they ship for free in the U.S.
