Rite Bobbin Mag
Deceivers, clousers, surf candy, and some of those old classic New England streamers often require longer shanked hooks and significant leverage when using high-strength threads like Big Fly and GSP. The Rite Bobbin Mag was designed to meet these demands, offering extended reach that can be critical for success with heavier patterns.
Some rod builders also use this bobbin, as it is compatible with popular rod-building threads such as Gudebrod and Dynacord.

I’ve been using the Bobbin Mag for tying big fly patterns and it makes a huge difference in how easily I can handle long shanked hooks. The 5-inch length gives me much better leverage, especially when working with thick threads like Big Fly. It’s durable and fits well in my tying setup.

This bobbin is a game-changer for New England streamers and surf candy patterns. The extra length helps me get the hook placement just right. I also found it useful for winding rod spools, though I didn’t expect that use.
