Great for keeping your thread in place on bobbins. At Grabflies, I have many different bobbins threaded with different colors and sizes of thread. I use these to keep the thread from be pulled back down the bobbin tube. They work great! Jeff Layton

For really getting in there, stainless steel is the way to go. The bristles are that much stiffer with the Ultimate Stainless Steel Dub Brush and works on bigger flies better than the one with nylon bristles though it will also work fine on smaller flies. Just watch your thread!

Bobbins are the critical tool in tying since they must keep smooth tension on the thread spool and have super smooth inserts to apply the thread to your fly. To this end, we have created three series of bobbins that handle these tasks with ease. All have delrin feet for smooth tension on the thread spool, and have either dual glass, ceramic or titanium oxide inserts for smooth application of thread to fly. These funnel shaped inserts allow for a smoother application of thread or other materials as the bobbin is rotated, and they cause less breakage than traditional pipe or straight edged inserts. Features: - Stainless Steel & Brass Finish
- Dual Glass, Ceramic or Titanium Inserts
- Delrin Feet
