BUY Rod Building Bobbin Holders Now! Decorative Wraps, Trim Bands & Inlays

[@ralphberry3222]

I'm glad I found your you tube channel! thanks for sharing your knowledge. It makes this hobby more enjoyable. I can't wait to try your bobbin holders. I have 2 of the fly bobbins and yes they get in the way sometimes.

I think you will like them! I really like them. They are smaller looking in person than they look on the video, really handy! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate that.

I just received my bobbin holders, and they are well-built and comfortable to work with for my fat fingers. Great work my friend!

[@TheFishingHobby]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the feedback! I knew I really liked them, it is good to hear that they will work for you too 👍

I bought 2 and I know your work as I bought my thread shuttle from you years back, (Off the hook rod and reel) Joe

Bonjour , vous reste il des portes canettes , je suis très intéressé pour vous en prendre !!!! suis en France

[@TheFishingHobby]

Je suis désolé, je n'expédie pas en dehors des États-Unis pour le moment. Je ferai une annonce sur ma chaîne KZbin lorsque l'expédition internationale sera disponible.

I thin it's basically a good design for it's intent, I have found {tying flys} that stainless will groove over time, {prematurely wearing the thread} if using in a daily situational might want to put an agate ring in the nose.

"J.E. Arguello Rod Company" sells a good product, epoxy will seat it in easily.

The wire I use is spring tempered (hardened) 304 stainless steel. The thread should not wear a groove in it. I wrap under heavy tension on my wrapping jig and the thread guides are made of a soft mild steel and they have not worn at all. My regular fly tying bobbin holder hasn't worn at all either. Is it possible you store your thread in a dusty environment? The reason I ask is because if grit gets embedded in the thread fibers, that very well could have something to do with the wear on your fly tying bobbin tube. Fishing rod threads are usually polyester or nylon and both materials are used as bushings and even bearings in constant contact with metal shafts in industrial settings because they will not damage the metal they are in contact with and they have low coefficients of friction.

@@TheFishingHobby No, it's just years of daily use, I used to get the same on rod guides too {spinning rods worse for it}, modern thread while smoother is on general as tough or tougher than steels, in most usages it would certainly not be an issue, but when doing everyday in and out use, over time wear happens. For the record I keep all my thread both for fly tying and for rod wrapping in plano tacklebox's that are only used for that. Partly because clean thread is important for both strength and appearance.

@@brianstevens3858 modern braided lines hold silt, dirt and sand in them and that is why they can wear grooves. Monofilament is nylon and will not wear on metal guides because they are solid and abrasives do not get embedded in them. Nylon and polyester are too soft to wear a groove in spring tempered stainless steel. Modern synthetic threads are tough, yes definitely but totally non abrasive unless abrasives get embedded in the threads. Nylon bushings that have steel shafts running in them at thousands of rpms under continuous use will wear but the steel shafts will not. That's a lot heavier use than anything these little bobbin holders will ever see 👍

@@TheFishingHobby I have several rods made in the fifties' and sixties with metal guides that saw nothing but mono and almost every guide on them is grooved, water is enough when rubbed on metal {or stone} for that matter.

Nylon has relatively high moisture absorption compared with many other thermoplastics. Nylon parts that must perform in wet environments should be designed with tolerances that factor in dimensional changes due to moisture absorption. Nylon mono can and will wear steel, and the Kevlar threads even more so.
