Overbuilt Bobbin
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a standard bobbin with two additional features new to me: (1) the rounded pins for the spools and (2) the plastic grip around the thread shaft. The rounded pins don't hold some of my older thread spools as consistently as I would like and the plastic grip takes some getting used to if you are not used to having it and are more used to bobbins without it and prefer a more precise thinner thread shaft. Good if you are a new fly tier and don't have a bunch of older thread spools unlikely to fit this bobbin. Bobbins are something I buy multiples of to carry different threads so I don't have to re-thread so be sure you like your bobbin before buying multiples.
Gets the job done
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Picked up this bobbin on a whim, After tying a few flies with it I plan to keep it as my first choice. Not sure if I will retire my old one but this one works great and gets the job done.
It is a bit longer then my old bobbin so it took a sec to get used to. I tie with a Renzetti vice so I have to make sure I don't leave a lot of thread or the bobbin hits the base. But not to much of an issue..
