Quick take
A metal fly tying bobbin with adjustable spool holders, suited to all thread sizes and fly styles from small dry flies to large saltwater streamers.
This is a metal jig bobbin from Creative Angler for holding a thread spool while you tie flies or dress jigs. Its arms adjust to fit different spool sizes, and the larger frame suits bigger bass flies, saltwater patterns and jig work. A spear-point tube guides the thread, and at about 0.02 pounds it is a small tool to keep on the bench.
Best for
- Fly tyers who work across a range of fly sizes
- Larger flies for bass and saltwater
