I like the tool, but when I tie flies less than about size 16, I have to swap to my griffin metal tube to reach up in the gape. I guess if I wasn't such a cheep SOB, I could probably find one with a smaller OD tip.
Until I start feeling rich, I'll just keep doin' what I'm doin'.

My previous favorite bobbin holder is the Tiemco ceramic one, and I solved the sliding rubber grip problem with some super glue. On a whim, I bought one of these a few years back:

Didn't think I'd like it as much as the Tiemco, but it has since become my favorite. The tube is even finer than the Tiemco, and it is sooooo smooth!
