Have made dubbing tools before but have found store bought tools better serving (i.e. dubbing needle – a shaft with micro barbs all over it).

It’s pretty much the same for bobbins. Have found, in the long run, that high end ceramic bobbins are great to tie with but aren’t necessary. You can find inexpensive bobbins and kits on ebay. Most major tackle stores offer kits as well.

Sometimes you have to be creative, like bassrecord, and make a tool for a certain job.

A really good resource for home made fly tying tools is old issues of the Fly Tyer magazines. The fly tying tip section is awesome.
