Have had my Norvise for a couple years now and love it. Also like his bobbins and actually even though I have a lot of regular bobbins I also have 4 of the auto-bobbins from Norm. He's a great guy too! I also broke down and bought one of the higher cost auto-bobbins (Ekich) and while I use it when I tie with smaller thread ( I tie lots of jigs so don't use light thread all that much) I will use it. However I don't like how you have to pull the spool part way off in the middle of tying to release the spring. I like Norm's way much better the way it resets on it's on.
Love the idea of marking the spools inside so guess I may need more spools than I have now which is only 16. Will pick up another 10 or so I think.
I also have had a Danvise I started with, then sold, but also still have my Renzetti Salt Water Traveler and my Peak witch I like a lot, but my Nor is my favorite by far. Even being a Peak dealer I wouldn't ever give up my Norvise! It just makes life easier tying.
