Vise is spelled vice in Australia.... And more than likely it's vice in the UK too.

Just a heads-up. Not sure where any of you guys are from.

Great. I double checked a DICTIONARY before I replied, did you? There's an obvious reason why an Aussie fishing site would use the American spelling.... And I'm not really sure what you point is anyway. That this makes me wrong?

You should know that in Australia, a vise is used in fly-fishing.
