Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

Look at the Faruk Ekich bobbin. I like it and the Norbobbin, each having advantages. Norbobbin is automatic but you do have to remember to put a clamp on the thread or hang it or the thread sucks in. The Ekich bobbin has the big advantage of accepting spools just as they come from the store, no

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

I love my Ekich bobbin, but I've been eyeing the Regal Revolution and the Custom Dubbing Blending kit that Hareline has. God knows I don't need anymore dubbing, but it would be one of those luxury items that would be cool to have to play around with. I guess it depends on your budget.

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

You don't need the dubbing kit. All you need to do the very same thing is two wire tooth kitty brushing brushes available in any pet store. Use them like wool cards against each other, wire teeth to wire teeth, with the bits of yarn and sparkle in between, and for about $10.00 you have your

good looking fly Don. Looks a lot like the crawdads that I tie. phxflytyer Phoenix,AZ "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford > On Apr 30, 2016, at 10:12 AM, Don Ordes

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

Hi DonO; Something I'd like to have but don't necessarily need. Seriously considering  a Norvise.  It's something I promised myself I'd get some day.  Thanks everyone   for all the ideas,  and if any Nor vise owners can let me know all the great things they can and do use thiers for, please let

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

Wayneb, What do you consider a luxury? Luxury can mean expensive, or over-the-budget, or more than what you really need- or all three. What’s worth it to get the most use out of. What about a nice tying station? Or a nice camera for photos? DonO From: 'Wayne Blake-Hedges' via VFB Mail

[VFB] New fly for the Keys trip

Pretty much all packed and chomping on the bit about going to the Keys. Lots to do around here, but it’ll have to wait until we return. Tied up a new fly for the trip- a fl-pink Mantis Shrimp: I like the way it came out, so I’m doing a green & blue one, but with a longer body. What other

Re: [VFB] New fly for the Keys trip

Thanks, Alan, It’s definitely not a departure fly from standard techniques, and it does look like it would be a good crawfish pattern. I just wanted something inexpensive that I could toss up in the mangroves and not worry to much about losing it. DonO From: Alan Di Somma Sent: Saturday,

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

I guess it is all a matter of taste. I had a Norvise and hated it from the get go. Gave it away and never regretted it. The only part of that is that I have since learned that you must wrap the thread around the leg of the bobbin two times for it to work properly. I have been thinking of

Re: [VFB] Thinking of buying myself something to clear me up

Wayne, If you tie a lot of flies ‘in the round’, meaning that most of the tie is via wrapping materials around the shank, then the Norvise is great to have. If you tie flies that don’t need rotating while tying, the feature will not mean much. Most of my flies are tied as stacked
