hc,
YES!!! At least until the next morning. Something always gets to them during the night and screws them up something awful.

Try an Ekich (an FAOL sponsor) automatic bobbin.

Don0 no thanks I've got enough toys besides I like my bobbins.
Why do you swing your bobbin holder around with the bobbin on it---Usually you halfhitch hang the bobbin and use the rotary to add material then take off the bobbin and swing the holder out of the way.. BILL
Oh just wrapping material by hand on the hook. when not using rotary mode
why do you half hitch all the time?
I have a Montana Mongoose and I've never had a problem. If too much thread is out, I just reel it back in with my thumb.
What is an automatic bobbin? I am intrigued.
Semper Fi!
:? I'm confused...not surprizing...but why don't you just let the bobbin hang down vertically?
Duckster,
Ther are times when it's nice to have the bobbin out of the way.
Pushing it off to about 45 degrees from the eye when hackling a dry fly, for instance, seems to give me more room for my fat fingers.
If you use glues while tyiing, having the bobbin behind the fly with the thread parallel to the table keeps the glue from runing down the thread and making a horrible mess in the tube....
Stuff like that.

Buddy, I was responding to this post...several posts got between that I wasn't aware of...hc sounds like he wants to hang it all the time.Quote:
