It handled just about everything that I could throw at it! Apr 2022 I would like to say that I have been very pleased with my new tool, and I truly do appreciate the design and engineering that went into this often overlooked item, however I now realize that I am in need of a few more bobbins from you as this is indeed exactly what I have been in need of I have recently been searching for, purchasing, and using a large variety of higher end bobbins most with adjustable tension, due to a partial amputation of my index finger on my dominant hand, and although I have indeed been fortunate enough to try several really good bobbins, they have all fallen short largely in part due to the lack of a comfortable tying position or grasp I was introduced to fly fishing and tying through a Veterans Organization after retiring from the United States Army, after being wounded in combat. Fly tying, at least to me, is as enjoyable if not more so than the fishing side of the sport itself. On the days when I am unable to get to the water physically, I can get assistance moving to my bench where I spend hours upon hours tying and still feel the connection to the outdoors, and it has helped me find peace. I know that this bobbin, something that some would simply see as a tool, means a bit more to me. I spent the entire day today tying with the Ekich in hand, and likely used 20+ different threads from 70 denier UTC, waxes Danville threads, GSP power threads, and Semperfli nano silk also a GSP of high quality. The bobbin accepted and ran smoothly with all of the above with the exception of the nano silk by Semperfli. Being as it is the thread I find myself using more often than not, would you have any recommendations as to how to improve the performance of the thread in your bobbin. I would be more than happy to send along a Semperfli spool if you would be willing to help me remedy the issue Again, I just felt the need to let you know after receiving your email that I have absolutely fallen in love with this bobbin, and it is by far the most comfortable bobbin that I have yet to try. Just so that you are aware of the brands I have tried since the amputation I will list them below, but none have come close to being as comfortable as yours. thanks again for such a great product Bobbins used: Thanks again for your time, and my apologies for the book. All photos of flies shown below were tied using the Ekich bobbin. Like stated before, it handled just about everything that I could throw at it! |

Far and away the finest bobbin I've used Feb 2022 More to come when I'm totally familiar with your bobbin... |

Special Q-ring for Veevus/Semperfli non-standard spools is exactly what I had hoped June 3, 2021 Enter the FAQ's other option, which is ordering the bobbin with "a special ring" to allow fitment of the Veevus spool with no modifications required on my end. This option was appealing to me but meant that the bobbin would be dedicated to Veevus spools only. I use primarily Semperfli and Veevus thread and lately, mostly Semperfli so a dedicated Veevus bobbin probably did not make sense. This is where Faruk's fantastic customer service and dedication became apparent. I had noticed that my Semperfli spools look very similar to my Veevus spools. This got me thinking the special ring option for Veevus may also work for Semperfli. I emailed Faruk and asked if he can confirm the two spools were in fact the same. He answered almost instantly and said that neither Veevus nor Semperfli are readily available at shops in his area of Canada. As a result of this he couldn't confirm they were in fact the same, but he agreed that they do appear to be from the same supplier with minor differences, (colour, thread winding direction, end cap/ID sticker placement etc.). He seemed confident it would work with both and I felt confident that if I ordered with the ring and it didn't he would make it right. I went ahead and ordered the Salmon size A-frame with the ceramic insert and waited patiently with great anticipation for it to arrive. I didn't have to wait long, it was assembled and shipped out next day and was at my door within three days of shipping. Faruk was in constant contact through the process and offered me several methods to contact him so he could assist me personally should I have any questions or concerns with the bobbin's use. When my bobbin arrived I tied up a quick Woolly Bugger to test it out. Half of the fly I used Veevus and half Semperfli to test fit and function of both. Semperfli spool is just a hair tighter then the Veevus spool but goes on the bobbin easily using just a little more care when sliding it on. Gently wiggling the Semperfli until the o-ring clears the outer edge of the spool instead of just pushing it straight on like I do with Veevus works fantastic. Once the o-ring passes the outer edge of spool it slides the rest of the way home with no issues or additional care at all. To be perfectly frank, Faruk's bobbin works better then the Norvise bobbin when you spin the Norvise and his is much more user friendly and quicker to the ready. The point of the Norvise system in my opinion is the spinning of the vise and truthfully I didn't use the feature often. I always found the thread would hang up and I would have to stop and give the bobbin a few tugs to get it feeding freely again. Thread control when I would spin the vise wasn't great either. Basically I only used the feature for spinning dubbing onto the thread. Maybe my challenges with the Norvise bobbin were user error or maybe not? Either way, no issues with any of my previous Norvice bobbin problems using Faruk's bobbin, it just works, and works freely, perfectly and easily. For me there was zero learning curve and I transitioned immediately. I love my Norvise and I rarely use my traditional vises anymore even though I didn't get along particularly well with the Norvise bobbin. The Ekich for me is a game changer with the Norvise system, and I am looking forward to being able to use the vise more successfully as it was designed and intended to be used. |

I listed the Norvise bobbin for sale the same day May 26, 2021 The other day I just happened to use my Norvise bobbin, the first time since I received your bobbin...and that lasted about a half a fly before I set it down and reached for yours. The thread tension on the Norvise bobbin was inconsistant and it felt cheap in my hand. I listed the Norvise bobbin for sale the same day. Your bobbins are working great and feel good in the hand. My 65th Birthday is in a few weeks and I'm retired now so I bought myself two more bobbins to celebrate. I look forward to receiving them. Good health to you Sir and your family. |

No more re-spooling and ABSOLUTE thread control January 12, 2021 I am lucky in that I have two tying benches, one at my house in the city and one at my lake house in Tennessee. The one in the city I have been using a Norvice Tying Vice along with their automatic bobbin. I have been using this set up for years and have come to appreciate the automatic take-up features of their bobbin. I have also learned the weaknesses of their system. One being the need to re-spool the thread. Another being the lack of predictable thread control by both the re-spooling and by the need to set tension by wrapping the thread around one of the sleeve support legs. With the acquisition of the lake house, I have easy access to all the waters of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina, including the coveted Watauga and South Holston tail waters. Of course, I needed a second tying bench, so I bought and new rotary vice (Peak this time) and started out using regular bobbins. I hated them. Hence the request for the Ekich Bobbin. Your bobbin is EXACTLY what I wanted. No more re-spooling and ABSOLUTE thread control. I LOVE IT! Due to my prior experience with the Norvice bobbin solution my learning curve was vastly shortened and I immediately recognized the benefits of the Ekich bobbin. I have known for a long time, since seeing it advertised in Fly Fisherman magazine and researching it online, that it would be an ideal solution, but I have been hesitant to spend the extra money. However now that I have one, I have ZERO regrets and it has proven to be everything I had hoped it would be. I still have much to learn to become proficient but I am well on my way and I am a very satisfied customer. In addition, I am one who openly shares my knowledge of fly fishing and fly tying with friends and those I meet along the way. I always try to transfer the little tips and tricks it took me years to learn, so that they will come to enjoy it as much as I do. Mentioning the Ekich Bobbin is now going to be one of those tidbits I share. Thank you, and if you ever get down this way, I would be more than pleased to spend some time on the water with you. Best of all in your endeavors and stay healthy and safe. |

"I am now officially addicted to your bobbin" "I have been tying with the Ultimate Bobbin for close to a year now and I can honestly say you absolutely get what you pay for with this tool. I tried to tie with other nice bobbins that I have but quickly became irritated with having to back-wind continuously.

"My newest family of tools" "You wrote to me when I purchased the "S Series", my first Ekich Bobbin and told me that there would be a bit of a learning curve to to using the Ekich bobbin. To be honest, I have not come across that learning curve as of yet!!! In fact, it has been quite the opposite for me! I had been using the other form of automatic bobbin for a number of years. After seeing the advertisement for the Ekich Bobbins every time I opened up the FlyTyer magazine and the final straw was after developing an interest in the Jvise and seeing that the bobbin of choice was again the Ekich, I had to give one a try!!! I can happily say that was several months ago and have not had the urge to even pick up any other bobbin since!!! This bobbin that I am currently placing an order for will be my second in what I hope will become my newest family of tools in my fly tying arsenal. Thank you. |

"You easily forget that you are holding this bobbin" "I opened the latest Issue of Fly Tyer Magazine and saw an ad for the new Type S Ekich Ultimate Bobbin. It looked vastly different than the previous type A's, of which I own three. I have long since relegated the handful of standard ball-end, or cap-end spring wire tensioned bobbins on my bench to dispense specialty materials like flash strand, chenille and wool yarns. Faruk's auto-bobbins have served me well over the past decade. I am an auto-bobbin convert! |

"Its holding in place power is awesome..." "I've been a rotary tier for many years, but not until I used an automatic bobbin was I really happy with the process. I use several bobbins, the Norlander bobbin, which has an automatic clutch, & the Ekich bobbin. I love each for a different reason. The Nor-bobbin has an automatic clutch, but you must respool the thread each time to fill the bobbin. |
 JAY SMIT JVICE INVENTOR |
"...performs superbly." "After waiting almost 3 weeks, the long awaited parcel finally arrived. I ordered both the Salmon and Trout models with ceramic tips. |

"The constant smooth thread control is a real dream." "My comments are truly the way I feel about the Ekich bobbin. It seems like I have always been looking for a better bobbin & I have used all styles. For a number of years I used an automatic bobbin that doesn't have the features of yours, such as the use of standard thread spools. |
DOC WEINER COMMERCIAL FLY TYER |
"...essential for speed wrapping." "I have been using the Fly Tying Enhancements (invented and produced by Faruk Ekich), Automatic Bobbin for five years. |
JOHN H. REID USA FLY TYER |
"...one well thought out tool." "This bobbin is one well thought out tool. |
DAVID M. DORN USA FLY TYER |
"...never have I found it so easy to tie." "Dear Mr. Ekich, The bobbin arrived yesterday...I just tied a few flies with it. |
CHRIS WHITLEY USA FLY TYER |
"Across the board, it gets an A++" "Simply Amazing! Over the past two weeks, I have given up tying for the sake of flies, and focused solely on putting my new Ekich Bobbin to the test. Across the board, it gets an A++. Contrary to the information on your website, the learning curve was surprisingly short. Changing of spools is quick and effortless; so, I see little to no need for an arsenal of bobbins. I have tied with "Uni Big Fly" down to 17/0, and the tension has remained perfect and appropriate for the task at hand. The materials have been held firmly in place on the hook without a single broken thread...no more overpowering the thread/bobbin. The rewind function has allowed me to leave or place the bobbin exactly where I want it or need it at all times. I have been able to gracefully back off of materials without losing thread tension or fussing with the bobbin. |
FRANK SLAK USA FLY TYER |
"...works so smoothly." "First, it was as well machined as I had anticipated. It is a nice piece of fly-tying equipment and feels good in the tying hand. |
ROGER SCHAAD USA FLY TYER |
What follows is a letter from Roger to his friend Steve I just got my new fly tying bobbins from Faruk Ekich up in Ottawa, ON Canada. I gave it a work out this morning and that is the premier of all bobbins. You can just take a spool of thread and put it on without any rewinding the thread onto another spool. I takes less then 15 seconds to change one thread spool of one color to another and you are tying again. It is the most marvelous piece of engineering that I have seen in the fly tying business. Quality second to none. You will have to try one to believe it. |
GARY BORGER USA BLOGGER & TYER The Ekich bobbin "provides a constant 33 grams of pressure on the thread, allowing me to dress size 28s without worrying about breaking my 17/0 Trico Uni-thread. And boy does that make me happy. Of course one can use the bobbin with all thread sizes, but being able to lay down wrap after wrap of 17/0 with no fear of breakage makes the bobbin worth every penny of its cost. If you tie small stuff, look into this bobbin." |
2 SERGEANTS OBJECTIVE ADVICE "I really have tested all the fly tying bobbins out there...In the end, after a year of testing, the Ekich Bobbin was undoubtedly the best." |
PRESTON QUANG CAN FLY TYER "If you tie a lot, a bobbin is a critical tool. In the grand scheme of fly fishing $100 is just a day or two of gas , a guides tip, or whatever. I say splurge and spend the money. You won't regret it." |
PASCAL FINGER CHE FLY TYER "What makes your bobbin superior to others is the automatic thread rewind function and, even more important to me and less evident, the ergonomics and the thread tension control. Even without the automatic function, the handling is absolutely perfect; the way the bobbin positions in my palm is an absolute joy to tie with." |

JIM STOVALL USA FLY TYER "Mr. Ekich, your ultimate fly tying bobbin performs exactly as you described it would. I will be ordering another bobbin in a few weeks for my granddaughter in continuation of the kit I am putting together for her." |
JOHN MESSENGER USA FLY TYER "The trout bobbin I ordered arrived today. I'm amazed how much more precise my tying is after a few minutes with your bobbin. Worth every penny. Thank you sir." |
PETER OLSSON SWE FLY TYER "The bobbin has finally evolved. Really great stuff, Faruk" |
JOHN DORAN CAN FLY TYER "For me, the best feature is the constant tension - laying a thread base on a hook shank by using the rotary feature of my vise and the constant tension of the bobbin leads to a more consistent and even finish." |
|||||
CHRIS SKILLEN GBR FLY TYER "The bobbin arrived today, Monday 4th March. Tied my first fly (a tenkara snipe and purple) 5 minutes later. Absolutely amazing. I wish I could afford half a dozen. It's nice not to have to loop the thread around the leg of the bobbin holder to get the correct tension a la Norlander bobbins. It's very easy to get used to after using Norlander retractables for over 2 years now. I will save up now for a couple more. Beautifully engineered." |
STEPHEN NEAL GBR FLY TYER "Having used your excellent bobbin holder for a couple of weeks I felt I should tell you how pleased I am with it. As a new fly tier I cannot imagine using anything else now. It is an enormous boon to a newcomer like me who is still wrestling with basic techniques. My first efforts with a conventional bobbin holder were frustrating in that I was continuously rewinding having ended up with a very extended thread. Now of course that need has vanished. The bobbin holder is beautifully crafted and a joy to use. Clearly you are a perfectionist engineer - as I can also see from your glorious vice." |
TIM JOHNSTON USA FLY TYER "I learned about your bobbin through the internet. After using it now for a couple of months, I must say that it is the best investment in fly tying that I have made and it is well worth the money. I plan on getting another before next winter." |
RON KOSHOREK USA FLY TYER "I find your bobbin indispensable. All my other bobbins are now permanently spooled with floss and wire. Somewhere during my learning curve I said to myself; WINDOW SHADE. That is what its operation brings to mind." |
|||||
LEE GOMOLCHAK USA FLY TYER "I have been tying with Norm Norlander's automatic bobbin for some time however I have trouble keeping track of the different threads I'm using since they need to be spooled onto separate spools. I have used yours for a few days and find it a joy to tie with, thank you for a wonderful product." |
ALEX MEYNINK AUS FLY TYER "...The appeal of your bobbin is that it holds standard thread spools and there is no need to wrap the thread around the leg of the bobbin to set the tension like on the Norvise bobbins...I can see my Norvise bobbins being neglected for preference for your bobbin. Your product is far superior in my view. |
CHRIS PATTERSON USA FLY TYER "Now I'm not a pro tier, or even a frequent one, but I really appreciate quality tools that make the experience more pleasurable. In the Ekich Ultimate I now have an auto rewind bobbin that works with me effortlessly. I always feel like it's a bit of a wrestling match with the Nor-Vise bobbin but yours is a pleasure to work with and I can focus on tying instead of controlling the bobbin. Thanks for a wonderful product!" |
STEPHEN CONNACHER CAN FLY TYER "I must note that I made an effort to see what other choices are available to someone seeking the features found in your bobbin holder. Without a doubt, yours stands alone. I will name no names here, but simply say that I am confident that I made the best choice when I ordered the Ekich Bobbin." |
|||||
CHIP CHILDRESS USA FLY TYER "Having used your bobbin now for a couple of weeks, I can say without a doubt that yours is superior to any retracting bobbin that I know of on the market. Not having to respool the thread is a great thing. Your bobbin is much more ergonomicly designed than the competitors as well. It is smooth operating and a pleasure to use. I am very pleased with it and will highly recommend it." |
BRAD NICKEL AUS FLY TYER "I wanted to tell you that your bobbin has been an absolute joy to use! It is a phenomenal tool and I wish I had found it years ago...Great tool, very good price in my opinion for such a tool, and exceptional quality. I will definitely be giving it praises to my fellow serious tiers. Nice work and thank you!" |
UWE HEYK GER FLY TYER "After long waiting I have finally tried the bobbin and I'm full with enthusiasm. It's a dream to tie with the Ekich bobbin and the tying is much easier and faster. This bobbin I should have 20 years before. |
STEPHEN CONNACHER YET AGAIN! "I had the great good fortune to purchase the Ekich Ultimate Bobbin and I find that now I simply cannot tie without it. This is a very well designed and well built tool...Quite honestly, I've tried tying with one of my old bobbins and I just cannot do it anymore." |
|||||
WILLIAM T. BLY USA FLY TYER "I LOVE it. It was totally worth the $. While I'm not a professional tier, it will still shave time off on each fly. More importantly, I don't have to deal with rewinding the spool each time which is a pain in the butt." |
DIRK BURTON USA FLY TYER "It is precise, easy to use, and eliminates the need to rewind thread onto the spool should you have to unwrap a few turns to make an adjustment to materials on a fly under construction. Dubbing loops are made simply, and it handles a variety of thread sizes gently and with ease." |
ROY-TORE GJERTSEN NOR FLY TYER "I have used my automatic bobbin for about two months now, and I am really impressed. It is a work of art! It works flawlessly and is a delight to work with. I wonder how I managed without it for so long :) |
NICK DEMARTE USA FLY TYER "I picked up the bobbin at the post office on Saturday. It is impressive. Very well made and designed. I could not resist trying it so I tied two small (and very simple) size 20 flies (3x long) and I was pretty well trained in the operation of the bobbin after the first fly. I would say it has a 15 minute learning curve. All I can say is well done! I just can't believe it, it actually does what I always wished a bobbin would do." |
|||||
GIAN PAOLO FAVA NED FLY TYER "Your bobbin holder is and remains one of those things that makes flytying a pleasure." |
JIM BERDAN USA FLY TYER "I have had the bobbin for about a week now and I really like it. It's easy to use and gives me great thread control. I especially like the fact that it accepts all my thread spools." |
GARY W. CLARK USA FLY TYER "I have never considered fine tools to be an expense, rather they are an asset. Your bobbin will pay for itself many times over just in the joy of using it." |
STEVE COTTRILL USA FLY TYER "The bobbin is everything it is advertised as, and I might add an observation...It's like having an extra set of hands except that these hands operate a LOT smoother than mine." |
|||||
FRANK THOMPSON USA FLY TYER "Just a note to let you know that I think you make one of the finest bobbin holders made. I currently own over one hundred eighty-five (185+) bobbin holders and yours are as good or better than all the bobbin holders made. Please keep making the great equipment that you make." |
MATT MATSUSHITA USA FLY TYER "Thank you for providing the fly tying community with your excellent product." |
BOB HOBACK REPEAT CUSTOMER "I just wanted to let you know I received the bobbin yesterday, Oct 9. In the evening I tied some baetis flies using both bobbins, one of the threads was the 17/0. It is still amazing how smoothly the bobbin handles the small delicate threads. I'm glad you had the desire to develop it." |
JERRY GRIFFIN USA FLY TYER "Not only is it time-consuming and inconvenient to transfer thread from factory to special spools, re-spooling also adds twist to the thread. So I am looking forward to avoiding that problem as well. No re-spooling, no extra cost, and uniform thread flatness and tension are all apparent advantages that your automatic bobbin has over the competition." |

CHARLES KADISH USA FLY TYER "I used the bobbin to tie a few simple streamer patterns last night and it worked flawlessly." |

DALE MARION USA FLY TYER "When I first saw the picture of the Ekich Bobbin I was impressed with the quality of the design, a machined brass thread hub, anodized aluminum housing, even the lettering on the side of the housing appears as if it where laser etched. And, it was an automatic bobbin that uses standard spools. How could I lose, I decided to buy one and try it out." |
W.G. MILLER USA FLY TYER "You probably hear this a lot, but thanks for still making a quality product in this day of mass-produced junk." |
PEIJE VERHOEFF NED FLY TYER "I received the bobbins yesterday and immediately tried them out. They are really excellent. Great feature to be able to shorten the thread with only one hand and what an fine weight they have of their own: masterpieces!" |
HENK VERHAAR NED FLY TYER "...not least the fact that it takes standard bobbins make this an expensive tool that is worth every penny." |

CASEY PELTIER USA FLY TYER "I still love mine more and more each time I tie. Latest discovery: I can release the tension halfway through a large fly and still keep accuracy at a maximum." |
TOM HEMBREE CAN FLY TYER "I finally got a chance to try my new bobbin. What a pleasant surprise. It fits naturally in the hand and is very comfortable. Tension and rewind is great. I am most pleased and would recommend it to anyone." |
ERIC AUSTIN USA FLY TYER "Now that I'm completely used to the bobbin, it's ruined me for the conventional ones that I normally use." |
ERNIE KALWA CAN FLY TYER "Just thought I'd drop you a line to say I'm really enjoying the Bobbin! It took a few days of getting used to it, but it really speeds up fly-tying for me. I like the spring retrieve when half-hitching & whip-finishing." |
|||||
RAY TAYLOR USA FLY TYER "Your bobbin is the best $100 that I've ever spent on my fly tying equipment. My old bobbins were good but this one is a step change improvement. The operation is very intuitive and the only thing I have to do is remind myself to re-set the bobbin prior to snipping the thread." |
BILL MILLER USA FLY TYER "...both bobbins are well designed and constructed and a pleasure to use. They are a great tool for any fly tier to have who appreciates using the best." |
ROBERT STRAHL NZL FLY TYER "I'm happy to say that your bobbin has arrived safe and sound in New Zealand. My post woman brought it to the door because she thought it might be something special, she was right! Thank you very much. What a truly remarkable tool. Your customer service is fantastic as well." |
ROB SEATON CAN FLY TYER "Fly tying with the Ekich bobbin provides the ultimate in thread control. Thread control is essential in the mechanics of tying a fly to perfection. The Ekich bobbin performs beautifully in conjunction with a rotary vise for precise thread wrapping and control no matter what the size or pattern of fly. I have been tying flies for 40 years and used a wide spectrum of bobbins, including automatic bobbins. I now use exclusively the Ekich S bobbin and the A series salmon bobbin. Fly tying as those who are passionate about the hobby and art form will appreciate the ergonomics and superb function that the Ekich bobbin provides. Simply stated, the Ekich bobbin makes fly tying FUN." |

ERIC LANEL USA FLY TYER "Just tied a few Trico's on size 20/22. Typically I do not love tying these flies as they are simple yet a pain. I LOVE YOUR BOBBIN! The control I have with it is amazing! You have done a really good job with this and I thank you. |
CLAUDIO ARCARI CDN FLY TYER "Hello Mr. Ekich, I'll try to keep this short...your bobbin is BRILLIANT" |
FRANK CHONTAS USA FLY TYER "I received my bobbin yesterday and I think I made the right choice. That is my second A bobbin and I love how smooth, comfortable, and how well it keeps perfect tension!! You have a quality product and it is worth the price!! Thanks for all your help!" |

CURTIS WATTS USA FLY TYER "The bobbin arrived today and I just wanted to thank you for designing a great fly tying tool! This is the fifth bobbin I have purchased from you, three trout versions and now two of the new design. I only have two new of the designs as of right now because other people must like them as well as they also have a habit of removing them when I am away from my bench at shows. Sure sign of a great tool. (Just wish they would leave me something). Will be taking better care of the remaining two that I have left." |
TERRY RYAN USA FLY TYER "I greatly appreciate the time you took to instruct me in the finer points of the Ultimate Bobbin Holder. For a novice fly tyer there is no better investment. The constant tension feature alone makes the Ekich bobbin holder the most valuable, tying instrument that I have. For a beginner it not only helps me tie efficiently but also to produce quality flies that more closely approximate my intended result. Thank you again." |
STEVE BROWN USA FLY TYER "I meant to email you before, because I want to let you know how much I enjoy tying flies with your bobbin! I've owned the S-series for about a year now and have tied tens of flies with it. I no longer have to worry about setting the tension, I almost never break my thread, and I can take in or let out thread at will. It's absolutely amazing. Thank you so much!" |
RONALD WHITE USA FLY TYER "You hit the mark on all points of creating the perfect bobbin. It is my favourite bobbin! No mere words can explain such perfection!!!" |
