Stonfo Bobtec 1 Standard-Tube Bobbin Holder
The standard-tube Bobtec with a sliding tension control and a hardened-steel bushing at the thread outlet.
Description
Choose the Bobtec 1 when you want to adjust thread tension without changing to a larger outlet. Moving the slider changes how the spool feeds, and the frame allows a quick spool change. That is useful if you alternate between thread colors during a run of similar flies.

Fit and buying advice
Compare the Bobtec 2 if the material you intend to feed is thick enough to make threading the standard tube difficult. The packaging identifies this listing as Bobtec 1, so use its own tube size when comparing the two.
Questions about this tool
Is the outlet ceramic?
Stonfo describes a hardened-steel bushing at the outlet. Compare a ceramic-tube model separately if that construction matters to you.
What changes when I move the slider?
It changes the tension on the thread as it feeds. Check it with the spool and thread you plan to tie with.
Will it suit a split-thread dubbing technique?
Stonfo describes the holder as balanced for rotation during split-thread dubbing. Check that the thread you use splits and handles well for your pattern.
