Another plug for the Ekich bobbins.

[J Castwell]

About once a year I bring this up, the Ekich bobbins. I know, those are the high priced ones, and most of us are not willing or able to lay out that kind of dough for a bobbin. But, there are some who can and do. Actually, quite a few who do and are darn glad they did. This is the biggest tying season of the year and I only want to remind everyone about them. They are a fine tool and if you are into tying, at last give yourself a chance. Take a look on our sponsors page. There is a difference.
Didn't get what you wanted for Christmas? Ho, ho, ho!!! Here's your chance.

Yep -- I second that. I have two, and they are great.

This product is well worth the cost. Furthermore, the manufacturer is a great source of information in many areas. Get his bobbin, and don't miss the chance to get to know him.

Yep, the Ekich bobbin is a top notch tying tool. Well worth the price. And Faruk is a heck of a nice guy to boot.

Have two and use them almost all the time.

Guess I'm just dense...can't seem to master the tension...either too little or to much ...loosening the spool seems to be a hassle so it just sits there and I glare at it

I'm just curious as to what flies and what type of thread folks are using with the Ekich bobbin. I have been thinking about getting one for some time. I tie mostly trout flies in the size 14 and smaller range using primarily 8/0 Uni thread with a Renzetti rotary vise. Do you think I would be happy with this bobbin?

[mantis]

I use 8/0 UNI 80 percent of the time and on occasion ultras fine mono thread with out any problems. It took a little getting use to slipping the spool off with my fingers of the hand holding the bobbin especially with the knotty joints to relieve thread tension so the thread does not zip back down through the tube. But like anything else it is just a matter of getting used to. Do wish in my arthitic condition it had a push button tension release on the spool holder but other than that it is a finely machined tool a pleasure to use.
