I am looking at a anvil atlas, griffin mongoose, and renzetti traveler. Does anyone know of a shop where I can buy one of these vises? I was thinking of GR troutfitters or sail, but I was wondering if you guys know of any other fly shops that have a good selection of vises.

Give the following a call and see what they have - i've seen a number of vises in both shops but i can't recall which ones:
- Natural Sports (Kitchener)
- With a fly (Mississauga)

I ended up getting a Griffin Montana Mongoose rotary vise from SAIL Etobicoke. It came with a c-clamp, pedestal, hackle gauge, bobbin, bobbin holder and stem extension. Overall a good purchase.

Great choice, its a great vice to tie on, only thing i found was the bobbin holder got in the way, so i removed it. mine doesn't have the cam jaws, so being a left handed tier makes it annoying to have the screws on the back side, going to upgrade sometime since the jaws are removable

Yea the bobbin holder is somewhat awkward to work around.

Honestly its been up since christmas 2013... I hang streamers in it while the head cement dries. There is an abomination of an articulated fly drying somewhere in it right now.
