Nice , you can never have too many bobbins . Like you I have most of the ones on the market I’ve collected over the last 30+ years . The one I don’t have and would like to try is the Smhaen . Thanks for sharing the world of bobbins .

Loon bobbin was so big that none of my threaders would come out the other side. I recently saw a DM video tying nymph flies with wire instead of thread. Loon bobbin is now my wire bobbin b/c it’s the only product I can get down the barrel. Would not buy another Loony..... Stonfo red have been longtime favorites but Stonfo just came out with a new adjustable tension bobbin with control near the thumb pad. Waiting for it to be delivered and try it out. Generally very impressed with Stonfo tools. Recently bought a JVice vise .... and hopefully getting a bobbin from Jay Smit in the next few weeks. Quirky designs that turn out to be fantastic tools.

Wow, a Steam Punk bobbin! You do have a collection!

Thanks for sharing your collection - I'm still searching for the one I like the best too.

Man I love tying! This is an interesting video. I have a nice collection of bobbers. I'd like to get a few of these.

Nice overview, should add the Norvise Bobbin, beautiful tool.

I prefer the Petijean bobbin, it is so quick to thread it, you don't need any other bobbins. I also have the C&F which is really nice for small flies. A Rite bobbin and various wire bobbins, and that's it for me. Dare I say it, have you thought about collecting whip finishers as well.😃

Long loose thread as far in as you can stick it, then suck it through. As fast as it gets, and you never loose it.

[@termite122]

pretty good video..in regards to the c&f bobbin the first thing i do is take out the foam piece in the neck and throw it in the garbage so u can then thread it with any threader u like or your mouth and suck the thread thru which is usually how i always do it..

[@designed2deceive]

cool, never though of doing that, I will try it!

[@phillmartin6196]

Yes, throw away the insert or Danvilles thread wax will ruin it. And given a thousand flies tying, the c&f bobbin falls apart so have glue ready , it looks nice , but it is really crap . My thoughts only .

Great video man thank you!

[@timprice7775]

Great video be good to see your vices as well

If this is your collection of bobbin holders, it's sad really because I thought I was bad for collecting, I have a collection of vintage fly reels that I never use. I bet you only use maybe three

[@grandwonder5858]

Is there a bobbin that opens wide enough for me to use regular spools of sewing threads? I like regular sewing threads because they are much stronger than fly-tying threads and they are cheaper! Does the larger-sized Rite Bobbin allow me to use regular sewing threads? I will buy it if it does!

[@CONEHEADDK]

Just bend one of the cheap ones, and if it works, you have the bends, you have to make on a high end one, if you choose to upgrade.

[@WestMichiganJigCo]

I'd be interested in seeing the vise video

Non vorrei apparire pignolo ma questi bobinatori seppur di buoni materiali non sono ergonomici.Non avendone trovato nel mercato me lo sono costruito da me.Bobinatore a penna a filo interno con frizione.Complimenti comunque per il video molto istruttivo.
