whatfly 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 @Kimo, "no" to which question? They seem to want opposing answers?3rd question Kimo What he said. Touch dubbing is really a different technique used to achieve a different goal than a dubbing loop. While on smaller flies you might go to a split thread technique in lieu of a dubbing loop, I use loops down to #18 myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanhawk907 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2018 I have a few and just got the rising galloup spinner. I'm really liking it. I can hold it with adequate tension as i spin it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike West 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2018 Here’s my ghetto one. It’s served me well for 40+ years. I wrapped the handle in lead to add a little weight. I have been eyeballing that OPST one for awhile now. I’ll probably pull the trigger on it someday just cause I’m a gadget nut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I added more weight, did a double-hook on the wire and added a rubber cap to make it easier to spin. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bazzer69 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 Ever tried this method of adding dubbing by the late Norm Norlander? Doesnt use any tools and is brilliant! https://youtu.be/39xvJCfd4Js Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesnt use any tools and is brilliant! https://youtu.be/39xvJCfd4Js That just blew me away. I bet I can do that with my new HMH TRV, with some practice. Now what am I gunna do with the dubbing spinners that just came in the mail today? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rstaight 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 I was at a show years ago and watched Mr. Norlander demonstrate is tying "system". It was amazing. I tried his dubbing technique on my Griffin rotary. Yes, it can be done, not nearly as fast. For it to be really effective, the vise needs to spin. For a conventional rotary vise to spin, the offset in the arm will create an imbalance condition. May not be very pleasant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 I've kinda wanted a Norvise for many years, Santa isn't listening. I don't understand what's wrong with the Norvise, but apparently something is because people keep buying other vises at the same price point and higher.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 Tricks like that are why the Norvise worth the money. No other vise does that, as far as my research shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 I first saw Norm and the Nor-vise back in the early 1990s. Bought mine right out of his hands at the end of the show. Yes, I use the same single thread method for spinning dubbing, and I use the split thread method using the auto-bobbin (also from Nor-vise,) for the weight. The bobbing spins very well. That's about all I need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2018 I use this one bellow. I love it because is spinning fast, easy to work with and durable. It is a life time tool. I will never go back on those cheap indian tools Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
