What Jvice Customers are saying:-
"... good news: The vice arrived today. I am more than
impressed by the reality of the vise. Phantasic, I am so happy to call one my
own. You really designed a wonderful piece of tool in an art style with, out of
my view, maximum funktionality. I will recommend your vice everywhere, be sure "
Klemens, Germany
"... Just to let you know that I have been using the vice to tie a lot of
saltwater flies in preparation for a trip to the Seychelles. No complaints and I
have a smile on my face every time I get to use it! A great product!
Once again, thanks for the excellent service" . Paul, Ireland
"...I
also bought a Wasatch J vise. Now, I own nearly every variety of fly
tying vise known to man including some of the outrageously expensive
vices such as the Law vise from the U.K., Renzetti Pro, and my most
resent purchase the Ck9000 (~$800!!!!!). All of these vises are
great collector’s items and are very functional but none can really
hold a candle to the Wasatch J. I am always searching for a
unique, well engineered, and functional vise which is what attracted
me to the Wasatch in the first place. Most of the newer vises today
are simple and expensive) variations on old themes and show little
in the way of innovative engineering. The J is really in a category
all by itself. ...In addition to the simple, elegant, ‘J’ hook
design to align the head with the vise body for rotary applications,
the jaw design is a real innovation in fly vise technology. No vise
I own, no matter how expensive or well crafted can hold a hook so
firmly with so little effort. Most of my expensive vises are now
just ‘collectors items and the J is my ‘go to’ vise for every
application from salt water to tricos. I always recommend the J to
folks looking to get started in fly tying. It really is the only one
anyone would ever need. Warm alohas from Hawai`i

"..I truly like the vise and want you to know
how much I enjoy working with it. It is a pleasure to use and I am
showing it off to friends religiously. Please
include me on any new product announcements or developments."
Keith, USA
"...Your vice is really very good. It is less only a vice than a complete fly
tying kit, made of best ideas. I've written some words and made some photos at
http://www.fliegenfischer-forum.de/flyfishing/jvice-t255982.html , so You can
see how good the vice arrived at me. Maybe some more tyers from Germany will
contact you in the next time, if they haven't done already. The vice combines
the solidity of a Dynaking Professional with the technical layout of an Abel
Supreme. It is the best vice I've ever seen, because it fits perfectly to my
opinion of having joy on tying flies by yourself. Thank You, Jay, for this
wonderful vice. I'm sure it will find a lot of friends, who will love it, as I
do"
Markus, Germany
"........Damn !!!!! The dog sled has arrived. The vice got here on 30th, I
just haven't had time to let you know. It was worth the wait ! The vise is
way beyond what I thought it would be......You are on the top of my list of
people to do business with !!!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN"
MIKE, Alaska
"... I bought a vice from you near the end of last year
and have been amazed that I have spent so many years struggling with my old
vice. It is an absolute pleasure and my tying has improved 10 fold, who says
you can't blame your tools." David, Harrismith
"...whilst I have only tied a few flies, the one
feature that is pleasing is its ability to hold a hook. My first vice was a
Regal and when switching to the Renzetti I lamented the loss of that
mechanism, both the "one touch" operation and the holding of the hook. At
least with the JVice the hook-holding ability is there."

"...I bought the JVice
last year August and I would like to complement you on an excellent
product, my quality and attention to detail has improved dramatically."
Walter Gauteng
"...Just to let you know that I am
thrilled with your product and have been converted from a
part-time flytyer to a fanatic. Many thanks and wish you all
the success with it in the future. I just popped on to your
website and see that you know have a backdrop card holder
available? I have been making a plan up to now ......"

"... I saw the
articulated deer hair stacker in the December/January issue of
Flyfisherman. It seems the perfect solution for my present method
of stacking deer hair ( using a Big pen casing). Could you please
provide me with the cost. I really enjoy your J-Vice. Fly tying
has never been such a pleasure...."

"...MY vise has arrived! It's
fantastic just what I had envisioned it to be! I..." Scott,

"..Jvice has arrived and I am over the moon. Many
thanks...." Charles, Cape Town
"...I am absolutely in
love with my vice. Thanks. Keep up the good work..." Willem,
Centurion
"... Thanx
for the vice, I received it a day before you promised. I am extremely
satisfied with the vice; it’s surpassed all my expectations. I have been
hard at churning out extended clousers for the tuna season, its amazing
that I have managed so long without a rotary vice. A rotary vice should
be a pre-requisite for tying.." Karl, BELLVILLE
"...I have just received my new vice
and have immediately given myself the afternoon and the evening off. I
am going home right now to put my newest toy through its paces. It is a
massive honor to own such a piece of workmanship. I cannot congratulate
you enough with this product, its features, the simplicity of
operation and the craftsmanship, especially since it is not in mass
production yet. I am very happy with the fact that I now own one of the
earlier (more personal) models..." Bert,

JVice Commissions new
Quick-Tech XP4-42SM CNC Late with live tooling.
All components and accessories
as well as the new standard jaw are now manufactured in
house.
The arrival of this new state
of the art machine in April 2006 has kept me on my toes and seriously impinged
on my weekend fishing. But it has been well worth the effort. All
components are now manufactured in my home workshop.
This has enabled me to do a lot more
R&D resulting in the new accessories and improvements.
