As previously stated, I have and love each of them and have several Norvise bobbins loaded in black, red, rusty dun. They both work great. For carrying I use the Ekich. Joyce

Ain't this list great? If any one out there has either of these two bobbins and do not like or do not use them, I would be willing to buy them. Please let me know.

The Novise automatically rewinds, but you do have to remember that and hang it or put a hackle pliers on it when you are done with the fly. You have to rewind your bobbin thread on the round bobbin but it fits the hand nicely. The Ekich bobbin is neat in that it will accept a spool of thread directly to the bobbin without having to rewind the thread thus keeping the same tension on the thread that the manufacturer did. It has the disadvantage that it does not have an automatic clutch, so when the bobbin winds tight, you have to flick the thread spool up, let it rewind and simply push the thread spool back again. You can find both of them on the internet and, as previously stated, I have and love both. I couldn't even think of tying without an automatic bobbin..it is the saving grace for arthritic hands.
