I am amazed that you could not get the hang of either the Ekich or Novise bobbins..all you have to do is let them rewind and, when they pull really tight, on the Ekich, you simply release the spool and put it back on the spindle again. With the NorVise bobbin, you just remember it has an automatic clutch so when you finish tying, hang it up or put a hackle pliers on the end so it doesn't have the thread pull back in. On the Norvise, you must wrap the thread once around the leg to have it wind back properly. Wish you'd have sold me your "unusable" bobbins at such a great price. I tie using only these two. Joyce
