The bobbin should work fine if you use a rotary vise and just direct the wire onto the rotating hook. I agree with Alberto, that if you wind the wire around the hook with the bobbin, you are much more likely to break it using a bobbin.

Make sure that the wire has no kinks in it for the section you will be winding on the hook. I have found that any small kink will break easily. I try to always smooth the wire between my fingers to make sure there are no kinks just before I wind it on a hook.
