Not really sure what you would use to make bobbin. Basically you don't have to use a bobbin, but it is easier to use one. If you are serious about fly tying then go ahead a buy a bobbin. I have one so far, and never thought I would need/want more than one.... sad part is I need/want at least 2 more.

The bobbin is only a small part of fly tying. Buying items and materials gets worse and alot more expensive. I have gotten out pretty cheap so far with a little over $1000.00 into this hobby and I just started last fall and I spend more each time I visit a fly shop. :bugeyes:

i need a thread holder but i dont want to by it...any suggestions???

 

 

Are you talking about a place to store your threads? If so, spend the 7 bucks at Walmart in the sewing section and get you one of the wooden fold out kind. You couldn't build it that cheap....

 

or are you talking bobbin???

Here's a couple of thread holders. Not too hard to make a thread holder, but these are nice:

NO! Those aren't my thread racks.

Right click on the pics and go to properties and left click on it. In the center will be the URL address I got the pics from. Just done a search on Google Image and these came up so I figured I would post them for you to get ideas. Right now I have my thread in plastic bins sorted by size. The Wal-mart racks would have been way too small and too bulky for my needs. Right now I have over 50 spools of thread and over 20 spools of wire. (I buy assortments of colors in each size.) I am more than likely going to make a rack that is a combination of the two racks pictured after I get my tying room. The rack will have pull out drawers that are stair-stepped. That way the whole box is smaller, but will hold a great deal of thread and wire.

 

Lots of ways to make one that fits your needs.
