Default Dearest Bobbin holder

Just seen this while looking through google for fly tying bobbins.
Ekich Ultimate Bobbin: Order
This makes the Petitjean bobbins seem cheap at 35 pounds seem cheap.

Like seriously whos going to pay 60 pounds for a bobbin holder.
Anyone have one if it ties flies itself I might get one.

Interesting endorsement from Bob Mead, looks like he would 'rather tie without his thumbs', than buy one.

That's rediculous, do you really think the pros are sufficiently balanced by the cost? Really, if this bobbin could't tie flies automatically - it isn't worth it!

I'll stick to my cheap ceramic bobbin.
