Ruby-Tipped Bobbins

These bobbins have made a big difference in my fly tying process. The ruby tip prevents thread from catching, and the tension is consistent. I use the small model for trout patterns and it works perfectly.
Stewart Sutherland –
The large saltwater model is ideal for bigger flies. The 2 3/4″ length gives me more thread storage without tangling. I’ve tied over 100 flies with no thread breakage.

Good quality and easy to use. The small model fits well in my setup. I noticed less thread fraying compared to older bobbins I used before.

I switched from plastic bobbins to these and immediately noticed smoother thread flow. The tapered tip is a small design detail that makes a big difference.
