Looks like the Norvise dropped their prices a bit since I last looked at them. How easy is it to load thread on the bobbins from your normal thread spool?

That's expensive.
It's probably my lack of skill and experience, but I like the cheap ceramic tube bobbins you can pick up for around $10.
I agree with Terry the el cheapo ones work just fine for me also. I'm still using the ones I bought 20 plus years ago. Don't even remember what kind they are.
I have played with that Ekich bobbin holder at a show, was really impressed that anybody would spend the price of two years' fishing licences on a tool that isn't a rod.
I use Rite bobbin holders for flimsy threads like Uni 8/0
otherwise Tiemco standard bobbins and similar suit me fine
If I were restricted to one tool it would be a standard mini bobbin holder.
You can throw away every other tool and still tie flies; to tie without a bobbin holder is a new learning curve.
I tied some seriously complex flies using no tools for Eric Austin's Luddite Challenge a few years ago, that was hard - and fun.
The hardest part was applying dubbing to an unsupported thread.
100 bucks for a bobbin holder, get a life, as mentioned above
:crazy:
:shock: :D :mrgreen:
