Easy cleaning of your bodkin
Varnish, silicone and epoxy can bee tough to get off your dubbing needle or bodkin. This little gadget will make it much easier.
Take an empty film canister and punch a small hole in the lid - just large enough fo the needle to pass through. Fill the canister with fine steel wool and replace the cap.
Now you can insert the bodkin into the hole, press it through the steel wool and spin it a bit and it will be clean and ready to work with again.

Since you got this far …
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
