I just made one using the wire from a large whisk I found for 25 cents at a garage sale. I used small hobby brass tubing for the shaft. Wrapped the shaft and arms in small copper wire and secured with CA glue. Works like a charm. About $1 to make it. Thanks again for the idea.

hey if any body needs a hair stacker your can take a pipe cutter or saw and cut the neck of a .308 bullet casing then chop the neck and the bottom of a .223 or 5.56 and put it inside the .308 and put tape at the top of the 223 where u want it to stop.

You must have read my mind. I have tied flies for years without a bobbin holder. Now I know how to make one (was too cheap to buy one). Thanks Paul!

the thread came free from my sister, the beads i found in draw, the q-tip or ear bud came out of the bathroom, the glue i paid £2.00 i don't know how many drops are in the tube so lets say i used £0.05, the spinner wire cost £0.25. It is still working a year on but i am think of making some improvements. Cheers

Hey man, AWESOME! My girlfriends dad gave me an old fly tying kit and when i opened it up i noticed no bobbin:( this was the first vireo i watched and 10 mins later i have a sweet bobbin! and it was free! i used two of my girlfriend massive bobby pins and the fine spray attachment off a WD40 can lol. Thanks so much for such a sweet and easy idea!

Bobbins have jumped up to almost $30 apiece here in the states. I'm going to try your method. I think I'll use a little heavier steel stock and some tiny brass tubing with a plastic seed bead CA glued on one end to keep the brass tubing from cutting my thread. Thanks for posting.

Metal. The light touch of fine grit sanding paper reduces of risk of sharp edges cutting tying thread. After you remove the ball point head, wild sharp edge appears.

Your righ,t i am cheap.But I find it more interesting that i have lost the urge to buy solutions. Last night i made a spinner blade and as I was cutting out the metal with snips I remembered watching a video of a machine that stamps out thousand of these blades per hour. What ever I make there will probably be a machine that can do it faster and maybe better, i fear the invention of the fully functioning sex robot. So i will keep my $1.69 and my bobbin holders, but thanks for the kind offer.

@thestcroixkid6 жыл бұрын
dont cut it, just bend the wire in half, then bend the point down so the tube sits flush, will make the whole deal stronger, if you get brass pipe you can solder also, you can also bend ears in instead of beads in a pinch...good vid though

yes your right, this was my second attempt i figured that out after making a few, i used brass pipe from the model shop and line it with ear bud tube and melt the ends so they roll up into a lip , i did go so far as putting a drag on one with a spring and washer , but I don't use them that often these days, i do not do well messing with fluff, thanks
