Thanks a lot Mart. That is the kind of info I was looking for. I tie a lot of big flies for bass and pike, so I do have to spin the bobbin quite a few times to complete a fly. I also put half hitches in at every tie in point so I usually have to rewind the bobbin a lot.
I usually don't split the thread to install dubbing! So being offset doesn't come in to play for me. Sent from my iPad Thank You, Alan Di Somma Phoenix, AZ. Some mistakes are just too much fun to make only once.
