Abstract:
A bobbin for tying a fishing fly, comprising:a pair of arms connected at respective first ends and spaced at respective second ends, each second end having a generally axially spaced bearing surface configured to receive a hub of a spool such that when so received, the spool is held between said bearing surfaces with a predetermined force; a tube for receiving and carrying a thread from the spool; and screw means connected to said arms positioned generally between said first ends and said second ends and extending generally parallel to said axially spaced bearings for adjustably controlling said arms in a manner to apply an amount of pressure on the hubs of the spool, wherein increased pressure decreases ease of rotation of the hubs of the spool and decreased pressure increases ease of rotation of the hubs of the spool, wherein said screw means is configured to permit one's hand holding said bobbin to adjust said screw means.
