Hi there,

I went to a Fly Fishing show on the weekend and there were tyers there using bobbins and Uni stretch floss for the bodies of their salmon flies. I have never used a bobbin for this but got to thinking that it may be a good way to control the floss and not waste so much by cutting it off. I don't think that 4-strand floss would work great but this Uni stuff the folks were using went on real smooth, no bumps, etc. I picked up a spool to try but I could not find a flared bobbin there like they were using. Do any of you apply floss this way? What bobbins do you use, there seems to be a wide array of them out there? Are they flared, ceramic?

thanks,

Dwight
