New to tying. Looking for a bobbin that is quality
I've been doing a a lot of research on bobbins and now I'm more confused than before I started. I was wondering what you would recommend and ones you use and like. I bought a bobbin that is apparently too small for the 140 and 210 denier that I will be using. It's a Dr. Slick Glass Bobbin that I didn't realize is for 8/0 and above. Then I saw many recommend ceramic so I was going to get the Dr. Slick ceramic until I saw many people say they got a burr or scratch on the ceramic tip and it would break their tread. So now I'm back to square one. Any help would be great appreciated! Thank you!

Myself I am not that pussy we try to get the cheapest that we can buy. I have been tying jigs for over 65 years. It’s whatever appeals to you on so many depict them but we usually try the cheapest one for me and I usually buy a lot five or six at a time but we’ve been using the same ones for over probably 45 years

I have ten of them all with different colors of thread so I don't have to switch threads very often. Don't think I spent much more than $10 on any of them. When I bought one as long as there wasn't any sharp edges at the tube tip it was good enough for me. Did try a couple ceramic ones and they broke the first time I dropped it. Wouldn't recommend them but anything else will do.
