Testimonials
Hear what the pros are saying:
“Shortly after being introduced to the Rite Bobbin, I took all of my others to a T.U. meeting and gave them away. Ten years later, I’m still using the Rite Bobbin. They’re just great.”
Fishy Fullum
“The Bobbins give me precise tension control to the fine monofilament threads we use to tie big flies in Brazil. Even though our fish are ferocious, they can see the difference and often times refuse badly tied flies."
Thiago Zanetti, Brazil
“I have been using you bobbins now for a couple of years, and this week purchased one of your new half hitch models. I really did not think the old models could be improved upon, but this new model is a ‘giant step for fly tying mankind’ in my view. For fifty years now I have tied flies and used just a couple of half hitches instead of whip finish, however this new model has converted me to a whip finisher, it is so simple. One giant problem, I normally have ten or twelve bobbins loaded and now I have to make some redundant to upgrade them all to the new model.”
