rite bobbin --- a review
Being a commercial fly tier, time is money! Using poorly made and ineffective tools can be frustrating and very time consuming... The other day I was having a lot of trouble with a couple of my "new and cheap" bobbins. One had a nick or burr somewhere in the tube and the thread would break repeatedly no matter how slight the tension and I couldn't find or fix the problem... Finally I gave up and switched to the other "new" bobbin and that wasn't any better. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the thread tension adjusted to my liking and one of the legs had a bad twist in it such that the hub would not set flush to the spool. Yeah, I got them cheap but in the end I paid the price, junk! I was so mad that I just through them in the trash. I should have known better. I've had my share of bobbins over the years and I've had quality and thread tension problems with most of them. It was time for a change. ...
