I was skeptical at first, but after trying it, I can’t go back to other bobbins. The half hitch and whip finish feature saves time, and the O-ring grip is a nice touch. It’s sturdy and the stainless steel feels solid.

Great tool for finishing flies on the go. The design is intuitive and the grip is comfortable. I still prefer the old model for some simple ties, but for complex patterns, this one is a game changer.
