Bought this because I love my standard Loon all purpose bobbin so much. Gotta say, I’m unimpressed. The tension is finicky to set, even with as many of the 8 plastic washers crammed in there as I can get, and the thread does not unspool smoothly. It’s always grabbing, which means the tension is always changing as you’re tying. Additionally, if you tie small flies, this bobbin is very large, which is mentioned nowhere in Loon’s advertising materials. I’ll give it a couple more chances to see if wear improves its performance.
J Stockard shipped quickly though! Love ordering from them and will continue to use them as my main online fly shop!
