I’ve been using this bobbin for several months now and it’s made a big difference when tying long-shank streamers. The ceramic insert holds up well under heavy tension and I haven’t had to cut thread once. It’s a solid upgrade from my old steel bobbin.

After switching to the Cermag bobbin, I no longer have to stop mid-tying due to thread breakage. The high-pressure drag system and ceramic construction make it a must-have for serious fly tyers.
