I really like the Ekich Bobbin the best. Second best I like the Tiemco and then the Rite and then the other assorted brands and types all get used too. They all work for me in one way or another.

The reasons I find the Ekich so handy is that it speeds up my tying. It allows one to reverse a wrap under complete control. It takes out slack for you. It holds tension for you. It will help you in tying hitches by cinching them up for you. It is truley automatic. It feels comfy in the hand.

I like the way the Tiemcos are built and how they fit in your hand too. I like the tension adjustments on the Rite Bobbins.

What I hate doing is gaining back thread by running my thumb all of the time. The Ekich takes care of that for me.
