Audrey Dyer –
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.

The thread tension range is excellent, and the click drag system gives me precise control. I use it for both saltwater and freshwater patterns and it’s proven reliable in tough conditions.

It’s durable and fits well with my existing tying setup. The length is sufficient for longer hooks, and the ceramic insert feels much more stable than standard bobbins.

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.
