Bobbins-The MP-TT, “The Bobbin of Bobbins”
Well now, what does my friend Marc Petitjean offer us in a bobbin with a name like “The Bobbin of Bobbins?” One thing that no one else has ever done, make a bobbin that really has no tube, and which can be threaded and ready for tying with only a couple of quick hand movements. No bobbin threader, no sucking the thread up through the tube, no frustration, only rapid ease of loading. That’s easily worthy of the name. But there’s also a slide lock that allows the use of a variety of spool widths and adjusts tread tension, very handy indeed. Then Marc has made a nifty notch on the “tube” of the bobbin so that the bobbin can be used as a spinning tool. It’s fully stainless steel with a very smooth, non-glare, non-distracting finish.
This bobbin has to be seen to fully comprehend all that Marc has done in its design. So, go to www.petitjean.com/shop/en/tying-accessories/mp-tt-bobbin.html# and watch the video of Marc demonstrating the bobbin at the Somerset Fly Fishing Show this past January.

The MP-TT is the easiest to thread bobbin in the world.
