Friday Fly Day - C&F gear for rolling your own

C&F are known for making some high end Japanese fly fishing essentials. Their fly box designs are world class and are a good starting point for anyone. What I've always liked is the practical concept and form they follow, carefully thought out ideas that are well executed.

Rotary Tool Caddy-
This is a sweet piece of kit. Just the right size to take a core selection of tying tools and nic knacks without compromising a few extras. Being rotary you never have to reach over items, a quick spin and you're away laughing. Various sized holes and slots see all manor of gear accommodated including 3 uprights for spools of tinsel/lead and the likes. A fly drier and storage wheel up top sets this all off as a one stop tying shop.
CFT60SW Saltwater Standard Bobbin-
This just feels right, compared to bog standard bobbins this is business class. Adjustable drag tension, optional additional weight _23g) hidden within the spool and a nice foam slit to keep your thread from accidentally sliding back out. Plus the ceramic tube is as slick as they come. All in all a great heavier weighted bobbin for securing larger material hanks and holding things in place.
3n1 Dubbing Brush-
Such a simple tool but with the benefits of 3 functions. The half hitch tool at one end will serve the smaller flies well but larger salt flies may struggle finding a use for it. The middle sees a stainless steel dubbing brush, very grippy and will pick all manor of fibers out into a buggy or blended effect - way more powerful than Velcro on a stick. The business end is the needle with a slight upturned end, great for holding a small dot of cement. Also useful for selecting eyes off backing sheets, unclogging hook eyes, picking certain fibers out and many more uses.
