Rite Bobbins
Standard Bobbin
From small midges up through bigger saltwater flies, the Standard does it all. With a premium-quality ceramic tube, it's also going to be very durable. And of course, it wouldn't be a Rite Bobbin without the one-of-a-kind brass tension adjuster, allowing you to have more control as you tie. This is a must have for any serious tier.
Features of the Standard Bobbin
-
Our ultra-versatile and most popular fly tying bobbin, Ceramic Thread Tube, Small Diameter Barrel, Removable Vinyl Grip, Solid Brass Arm, "Click" Drag Adjustment, 1-9 ounces of thread tension
Shorty Bobbin
Smaller flies sometimes require smaller bobbins, the Shorty Bobbin provide's the same level of precision tension, as the standard Bobbin but 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 of the Shorty
- 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.
Half Hitch Bobbin
The newest bobbin in Rite Bobbin collection, the Half Hitch offers all the great features of our other Rite Bobbins, with the additional convenience of being able to whip finish flies using the specially-tapered barrel. Turn out more flies more efficiently, or whip finish as you tie to ensure that more complex flies are less likely to come unraveled as you tie. The Half Hitch also boasts a comfortable grip made of rubber o-rings, which doubles as a temporary thread keeper. This is a great all-around bobbin, fast becoming the go-to bobbin for many tiers.

Ceramic Magnum Bobbin
If you are tying larger flies, or especially those that have longer shanks like streamers and saltwater flies, the CerMag offers you the additional length you need. And often times, these flies require heavier, tougher thread--which is why we have built this bobbin with a high-quality ceramic tube, to help you avoid cutting thread due to extreme wear and tear. The durability and length of the CerMag will keep you cranking out those hefty patterns all year long.

Magnum Bobbin
Deceivers, clousers, surf candy, some of those old classic New England streamers -- these are all patterns that sometimes call for longer shanked hooks and lots of leverage while using high strength threads like Big Fly and GSP. For that reason, we developed the Mag bobbin, giving you that extended reach that can be critical to the success of some of these beefier patterns.
