Smaller flies sometimes require smaller bobbins, so we developed our Shorty to provide the same level of precision tension, along with a smaller sized barrel. This is the perfect tool for those little blue wing olives, midges, small parachutes, or any other pattern where a full-sized bobbin starts to impede your ability to see and/or tie.

The Shorty also boasts the top-quality ceramic tube, to ensure smooth performance, and a removable vinyl grip.

FEATURES:

• Approximately 3/4″ shorter than the “Rite” Standard

• Great for tiny flies or smaller hands, but many tiers with large hands swear by this bobbin.

• Zirconia Ceramic Thread Tube

• Small Diameter Barrel

• Removable Vinyl Grip

• Solid Brass Arm

• “Click” Drag Adjustment

• 1-9 ounces of thread tension

• Works great with spooled wire
