second the bobbin, lol.
seriously though, my Dr. Slick arrow point scissors, and barb crimper pliers.
I'm glad you said "tool" or my answer would be ...hook
Let's see...thinking this through
...something to wind with...my fingers can do that...especially with a spool in my palm...actually do that sometimes
...something to cut with....scissors ...razor blade...etc..
...knot tyer....that would be fingers again...
It would have to be scissors....can't gnaw with my teeth...
definately the scissors, without question
My fingers, definitely my favourite, I am very attached to them. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Back in Grump mode for a minute.
A bobbin is the round article, wood, plastic or metal, which the thread is wrapped around, also sometimes called a spool.
When will these colonials learn. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I learned to tie without a bobbin so I can do without one. Pretty hard to tie a good fly without scissors. A pair that will fit in my hand with kinda long smooth point.

Most of the flies I tie are for saltwater. The hooks I use need to be sharpened or you won't be catching any fish.
Before I smartened up I used a file. It took a good chunk of time to sharpen each hook, and it wasn't easy to get a good edge.
Then I discovered the Dremel Tool http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/happy/thumbsup.gif
Zip, zip, zip and it's done.
I'm with Donald---my fingers. I've tied without a vise or bobbin. Scissors---BILL
