Dr. SlickECO 4" Bobbin Dual Glass Inserts w/Brass Feet

Medium tension and treats threads well when tying.

I love these bobbins. But they have 1 downfall, the glass in the tip will break if you drop it on something hard

All Dr. Slick's products are great and these are wonderful

Great bobbin, nice quality, highly recommended ,well buy another one soon

These work well for me for both thread and wire. They do grip the spool a little tight, but I suspect they may loosen a bit. I bought 2 to try, and will update this review if anything changes.

For the record ---- the J. Stockard Soft Grip Bobbin Threader will not slide thru this bobbin!

this tool exceeded my expectations. for the price i wasn't expecting good quality, but this bobbin is pretty darn good. it has plenty of tension to hold/smoothly feed the spool and the joints on the neck are brazed and clamped together with a brass band. i don't know the first thing about fly fishing so i can't speak to it's performance with string but it does a great job with the 28g/32g kanthal wire i use to rebuild my e-cig heating coils. i might take up fly fishing just to collect the bizarre tools that go with it.Doc's Fly Box was a pleasure to do business with, shipped quick and was well packaged.Thanks Doc.

Exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable and economical.
