Leland on the Dyna-King Light Weight Bobbin Hanger
When working with
multiple pieces of material,
a bobbin hanger is a must. If your tying two dozen pheasant tails the
night before you go fishing, the last thing you want slowing you down
is materials getting twisted together. Dyna-Kings's light weight
bobbin hanger keeps your
thread conveniently out of the way with the ability to swing 360° around
the vise. Simply slips onto a bracket that mounts to the 3/8" shaft.
As far as accessories go, this might be the first one to add!
Specifications:
- Simple, Light weight design
- Mounts on a 3/8" shaft
- Made in the USA

Dyna-King History
“My father was a fly-fisherman. With his help, I caught my
first trout: a seven inch golden, on a McGinty. We were 9000 feet up,
standing in a snow bank at the edge of a pocket lake that drained into
the headwaters of the San Joaquin River. I remember shivering; perhaps
with excitement but also with the coolness of a crisp May morning. It
was 1938, the beginning of my love affair with trout. Eight years
later, my entrepreneurial father moved our family to a mining claim on
a tributary of the pristine Smith River of northern California.
Obtaining a "special use" permit from the United States Forest Service,
our family built and operated the rainbow trout hatchery and farm known
as "Trout Haven". My teen years were spent either working with the
trout or fishing for them on the Smith and its feeder streams. Fishing
as often as time and resources allowed, the years passed more quickly
than I could have imagined. My rapture with trout continued. In 1975 I
met a fellow fly fisherman who was renowned as a fly tyer
extraordinaire. Dissatisfied with his tying equipment, he said, "Ron,
why don't you build a good vise? One that will hold a hook!" In 1981 I
presented him with my first production vise. That was the beginning of
Dyna-King®, and that fisherman and fly tyer was Grant F. King.”
