scott.bearden 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 I exclusively use the nor-vise automatic bobbin with the exception of spools of wire, in which I have a couple of rite-bobbins that I love dearly and need the ceramic tube due to the wire's ability to chew through metal tubes.

Randyflycaster 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 I'm using mostly metal now because they're cheap and I have a lot of them loaded with different threads. So far they have cut or frayed my thread, but maybe they will soon. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ty Flyer 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2014 I have a heavy duty ceramic bobbin. I like the ceramic because it cannot cut the thread, which is very good. you certainly don't want your bobbin to cut the thread in the middle of a fly, especially when spinning deer hair.

DrinkSmokeFish 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Tiemco Ceramic is my workhorse. Have a few older ceramic insert bobbins (griffin, dr slick) and a few older all-stainless ones that see very little action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
