flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Great job Hans. I think I like it more than your original? I notice the C&F bobbin. I really wish you might give Jay Smitt's bobbin a try. Once you have used it a while, you can't go back. Byron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This new puppy has big boots to fill yet ;-) On the bobbin holder - perhaps. I generally like the bobbin holder to be simple, and balanced. The tension setting I provide myself with finger and palm pressure. Jay's bobbin holder certainly serves a purpose, but I doubt it will be mine.
