    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.

Spring Hours: Monday – Friday 10AM – 6:00PM. Saturday 10AM – 5PM. Closed Sunday. Orders are shipping daily.
