Stonfo Elite 2 Large-Tube Disc-Drag Bobbin Holder
A weighted disc-drag holder whose larger tube is intended for floss, microchenille and other bulkier materials.
Description
Look at this version if you tie streamers or saltwater patterns and feed bulky material from the spool. Stonfo gives floss and microchenille as examples for the larger passage. Use the disc to adjust payout after you thread the material. If the material bunches up at the opening, compare its actual diameter before tying under tension.

Fit and buying advice
Choose the Elite 2 by the tube and adjustment rather than by the blue accents. If you mainly tie fine dry flies and want the holder to take up less room, compare the Elite Compact instead.
Questions about this tool
Does the large tube provide higher spool tension?
The tube gives material more room to pass. Set the resistance separately with the disc drag.
When would I choose the Compact instead?
Choose a shorter holder if clearance near the vise is the problem and your thread already feeds freely. Choose the 578 when you need more room inside the tube.
Which material should I try first?
Compare the floss or microchenille you actually use with the tube. Material diameter can vary even under the same name.
