$Ekich bobbin holder in the hand - It feels natural to rest the spring housing in the palm and rest the fingers on the outer wire bridge. This orients the spool perpendicular to what\'s the case with most bobbin holders, but makes releasing the retracting spring very quick and easy$

$The no-name ceramic bobbin holder in the hand - There\'s a great deal of freedom, but the flat handle makes it natural to hold it like this, which is very comfortable$

$Rite Bobbin in the hand - The Rtie bobbin has a thicker end piece in the side where the adjustment sits, and it\'s natural to point this away from the palm$

$Stonfo Bobbin in the hand - The Stonfo is one legged like the Rite and has an even larger knob, and it\'s natural to have the single leg in and the knob out when grabbing the bobbin holder$

$Using a cheap bobbin holder for wire - Copper wire can be much easier to handle when mounted in a bobbin holder, and that\'s the perfect job for those cheap Indian and Chinese ones you might have laying around$

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
