Jeez....I've been tying this fly for 2 years, and just watching you I realized that I'm doing it very slow! Never thought of putting the wire in a bobbin...

The only trouble we have with the bobbin is if we start with too much wire out of the tip. This causes a lot of turn on the wire at the tip and it can break (just like helicoptering it off when tying other patterns). So, we keep the wire moving through the bobbin.

​@discountfliesflyshop1898 excellent tip! Thanks. Do you have a bobbin type and brand you recommend? I have a couple of old steel bobbins that cut thread. Would those work?

Yes, this is exactly what I use.
