Loon Outdoors Ergo Bobbin

The perfect balance of heavy-duty and comfort.

An ergonomic and high-performing update to the indispensable tying tool. The powder-coated ergonomic handle rests perfectly between the thumb and fingers, while the spring steel spool holder allows for easy adjustment in tension by changing the pressure applied by the grip. The tube is designed with versatility in mind: the high gauge works well when tying small flies, and the tube is long enough to tackle large patterns as well.

- Ergonomic thumb/finger grip system on barrel
- Japanese spring steel needle
- Powder-coated handle

Simms Challenger Jacket & Bib: The Ultimate Wet Weather Outerwear 05/08/2026

NEW Simms Fishing Products Challenger Jacket & Bib review - with Ben Munro

There’s nothing worse than being a long way from home when the weather properly packs it in and realising your wet-weather gear isn’t quite up to the job. A bit of drizzle is one thing. Driving rain, wind and a decent boat ride is another story altogether.

That’s where the new Simms Challenger Jacket and Bib come in.
