C&F Saltwater Bobbin Holder
C&F Saltwater Bobbin Holder is a professional fly tying bobbin holder specifically designed for large streamers, saltwater flies, and patterns requiring high thread tension and secure control of bulky materials. Developed by Japanese manufacturer C&F Design, it is engineered for demanding fly tying techniques involving deer hair, bucktail, flash materials, and strong tying threads.
The main feature of the C&F Saltwater Bobbin Holder is the integrated Gravity System, which increases the bobbin weight to approximately 29 g and helps maintain consistent thread tension while tying. By adjusting the screws on both sides of the Gravity System, the tyer can increase pressure when securing heavier materials and building larger fly patterns.
The specially designed short ceramic tube construction reduces the risk of damage when applying strong pressure during tying. The high-quality zirconia ceramic tube minimizes friction, protects the thread from abrasion, and provides smooth thread flow throughout the tying process.
The tube entrance features a Micro Slit Foam system that prevents the thread from wrapping around the bobbin arm and improves overall comfort during extended tying sessions. The Teflon-coated arms allow smooth spool rotation and contribute to the long-term durability of the tool.
C&F Saltwater Bobbin Holder is designed for situations where standard bobbins cannot provide enough strength and control. It is an ideal tool for fly tyers creating large streamers, pike flies, saltwater patterns, salmon flies, and other constructions requiring maximum thread tension.
