Dr. Slick Titanium Fly Tying Bobbin
Dr. Slick Titanium Fly Tying Bobbins feature durable titanium oxide inserts and Delrin feet. To make threading your bobbin easier and cause less breakage, these funnel shaped inserts create less stress on materials during rotation than straight edged bobbins. These bobbins are made in 3 sizes to meet all your fly tying needs. Bobbins are the critical tool in tying since they must keep smooth tension on the thread spool and have super smooth inserts to apply the thread to your fly.

I’ve been using the 4.75″ titanium bobbin for several months now. The funnel insert makes threading much smoother and I’ve noticed significantly less thread breakage. It fits well on my workbench and stays stable during use.

Switched from a standard bobbin to the titanium version and it’s a noticeable improvement. The thread doesn’t snap as easily, and the smooth rotation helps with consistent tension when tying flies.
Matt Young –
The 4″ size works perfectly for my small flies. The Delrin feet stay in place even on a slightly uneven surface. A bit pricey, but the durability justifies the cost.

After trying several bobbins, this one stands out. The titanium insert reduces friction and the threading process is much faster and more reliable.
