Pat Cohen"We met Pat at the international Fly Tying Symposium where he had an amazing display of his spun hair flies. Even more amazing is that he has only been tying for three years."

"We introduced Pat to our Cermag model bobbin, here is what he had to say: I will be buying more of the ceramic bobbins, they are the best I have ever used. Super smooth and easy to control when stacking hair."

Glenn WeisnerGlenn R. Weisner has been tying flies since a seventh grade science fair project and has honed his tying skills tremendously thanks in part to private lessons, workshops and personal coaching from life-long friend Chris Helm. Glenn enjoys tying most all trout flies and is recognized for his interest in Midge patterns and Terrestrials.

Glenn has been tying, exclusively, with RITE bobbins for over 10 years. Glenn says - "doesn't it make sense to spend a little money on the fly tying tool that spends over 75% of the time in your hands?" Sure it does....treat yourself to a RITE bobbin today!

Michael Yelton"I received your rite bobbins and I've gotten to use them already in a couple of videos. I was really impressed. I like how you can set the drag. They're really smooth and light. You can tell they are well made too."

Chris Helm"The Rite Bobbin solved the biggest problem I was having in tieing bass bugs. It put sufficient pressure on the bobbin (spool) so I didn't have to squeeze the bobbing holder, which up until the introduction of the Rite Bobbin, was a major nuisance. Having consistant pressure on the bobbin does allow for better thread control and the result is a major improvement in controlling the material which results in better flies."

Marcelo Malventano"When I began giving my first steps in this art, my teacher told me some words which would be on my way forever, "Each person builds a very simple life and it's always meaningful when that person is the one who leads it". That's the moment when I realized that if I wanted to achieve some change or to do something different, I would go back to the principles that the teacher had taught me."

"Since then I began to fight with the hook on the tying-bench, and after having the same movements, patterns and materials, I began to experience that internal change that was born through my teacher's words. Here is the key of the tie-fishing, it's learnt, achieved and capitalized the materials creating diversity in each fly made. My realist patterns are based on the main principles transmitted by my teacher: imagination is the first one, capitalization and knowledge about the materials to achieve the diversification in each model and have a deep study, as anatomic as bibliographic, of the insect that is wanted to tie."

"To sum up, the key of the fly-tying is found in each person and it's possible to experience and develop passionately if somebody transmits it in this way. This is the reason why I thank to my teacher and friend, Darío Pedemonte."

Karen Royer"Rite Bobbins truely are the best. Tying realistic patterns is a little more challenging when it comes to thread and material control."

"You're bobbins give me one less thing to have to worry about while trying to situate material. I have a total of 6 in my tool supply and will probably have more in the near future. Thanks for a quality product!"

Niclas RunarssonEnglish: "I bought my first Rite Bobbin a couple of years ago and it has been my favourite since then. It offers a control that no other bobbin does. By setting the tension to a level just below the breaking strength of the thread, it will allow for tight wraps without having to worry about thread breakage during tying. The precise tuning makes this adjustment just as easy for a 40 denier thread as for a 140 denier thread. It's truly an entire set of bobbins, all in the same one."

Swedish: "Jag köpte min första Rite Bobbin för ett par år sedan och den har varit min favorit sedan dess. Den erbjuder en kontroll som ingen annan trådrullehållare gör. Genom att ställa in bromsen till ett motstånd strax under trådens brottsstyrka erbjuder den möjlighet till hårda trådvarv utan att man behöver oroa sig för trådbrott. Fininställningen gör detta lika lätt för en 40 denier-tråd som för en 140 denier-tråd. Det är ett helt set trådrullehållare i ett och samma verktyg."

Waly Mueller, Jr."The Otter," may very well be the worlds foremost expert on egg patterns. Although he ties all kinds of flies from large Stonefly nymphs all the way down to #32 midges using his "rite" bobbins, Walt knows more about the egg pattern than most anyone. E-mail him or look him up at the Regal Vise booth at the Fly Fishing Shows, where Walt is a very popular featured tyer. You will definitely learn something!

Greg Becker"I converted to the "rite" bobbin about 8 years ago, and have not looked back. As a commercial tier, I can't waste time breaking thread and constantly bending my conventional bobbin to gain the right thread tension. With the "rite" bobbin, there is no thread breakage and once you set the tension it remains set until your spool is empty."

"We sell hundreds of these bobbins every year, and everyone that tries them loves them. I use the Mag and Cermag bobbins for saltwater flies, and the Shorty and Standard when I tie freshwater patterns for myself. The "rite" bobbins have been a great addition to my fly tying arsenal."

Jason P. Haddix"As someone who has tied thousands of flies commercially, I have owned every bobbin available.. Some were good, but most were poor at best. The rite bobbin was the first that tool that actually impressed me. The rite bobbin makes it easy for someone who wants to tie just a dozen or the commercial guy who wants to tie a hundred dozen."

"It solves the essential problem of thread control with it's infinite adjustability and constant tension on the spool. On top of that, it has the highest quality ceramic tube and fits your hand like no other. Take it form a guy that's tied thousand of flies a year, this product can't be beat!"

Andy Szofran"I have been a fly tyer since age 10, a fly fisherman since age 12, and a guide since age 18. I fish between 150 and 200 days a year, mostly for trout with some steelhead, bass, and carp thrown in for good measure."

"I have fished the waters in the Red Lodge, MT area since 1990. Besides fishing, I also guided class V whitewater trips when I was in my teens and 20's."

"I still enjoy rowing big whitewater for fun in the off season. You can be assured my rowing skills and safety on the river are second to none."
