Landon P 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 Today is a sad day :*( i sat down at my bench to tie a few articulated like flies, I started and about halfway through I pulled down to hard on the thread and snapped my Rite bobbin. Won't be buying another one and will be looking for a return. Only a few months of use and In my mind I didnt do anything to misuse/mistreat it.

Moshup 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 Get in touch with them they’ll make it right. Were you happy with it before it broke? I have the magnum size which I am very happy with when tying large streamers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 Bummer! Terra - $6.00. I have about 20 of them (I hate changing thread spools) after starting to buy them when they were only $2.00. Never had one break and all work just as good today as when they were taken out of the package. Just another way of doing things for you to ponder.

vicente 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 I've never had issues breaking thread with any of my glass or ceramic tipped bobbins, I have a couple plain steel ones that did I just use them for gsp now so it doesn't gunk up my nice ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFoster 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2020 Landon-Stonofo makes a fantastic disc drag bobbin which I can recommend. I have a Rite Bobbin and I always reach for the Stonofo because it has much better control of the thread tension. Just tighten the knob until it's where you like it. I've had mine for a year now with no issues and the quality is first rate. I don't care for the Rite because click position to adjust tension is either to light or to heavy for 6/0 on 8/0 with no in between setting. It's also less expensive than the Rite. Good luck!

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2020 I have a LOT of bobbin holders and a couple of Rites. I have no problem with them except the time to change a spool and get it adjusted. Because I only use the couple I have for 16/0 white and black Veesus it's not a problem but only because I have a dozen others with different colors and weights on them including wire and lead. I do get irritated when the one with the O-Rings for a handle keep rolling off. Time to SA them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
