C&F Design CFT-60/L Standard Long Bobbin Holder
The long Standard holder, with a head about 10 mm longer than the regular model and a dedicated threader in the pack.
Description
The longer head moves your grip slightly farther from the hook. That is useful if your hand blocks the view while you secure successive bunches of fibers on a streamer. Compare the working reach with your current holder, especially if you are used to making short wraps very close to the vise.

Fit and buying advice
The CFT-60/L uses a zirconia ceramic tube. C&F describes adjusting tension by moving the arms and sells optional Gravity System parts for a stronger setting. Follow its handling guidance if you pull firmly so the load does not bend against the ceramic tube.
Questions about this tool
Does the extra length mean it holds a larger spool?
The maker describes the difference in head length. Choose it for reach and sight lines, and confirm spool fit separately.
Is the Gravity System included?
C&F lists the compatible Gravity System parts separately. The maker includes a dedicated threader with the CFT-60/L.
What should I watch for when pulling hard on the thread?
C&F warns that excessive load can break the ceramic tube. Keep that in mind when increasing the setting or changing to a stronger thread.
