Bobbins

This "bullet" grip bobbin is easy to hold and easy to control. Ceramic inserts ensure a smooth snag-free path for all styles of thread. The titanium adds a hard coating that increases durability and decreases friction.

Bobbins are the critical tool in tying since they must keep smooth tension on the thread spool to apply the thread to your fly. These bobbins have delrin feet for smooth tension on the thread spool, and have ceramic inserts for smooth application of thread to fly. This is important for small threads and threads like Nano Silk.  This is a small bobbin, which is well suited for smaller flies.

The total length is 3.5 inches.  The tube -- from the thread insert end to the tip -- is 2 inches and extends 1 inch from the point in which the bobbin is gripped.  

Use a threader to pull your thread through the bobbin tube when you get tired of trying to suck the thread through.  The reverse end can be used as a half-hitch tool.

A ton of function in a compact package.
