What is the purpose of the Bobbin Cradle?
The Bobbin Cradle enables you to pull thread straight out from the hook. This prevents the thread from wrapping around the hook shank while rotary tying. Proper placement of the cradle while rotary tying should be directly inline with the hook shank and centerline of the rotary shaft. If you don’t need the cradle in the tying process, simply swing it out of the way.
