Hi guys, New to the website. I just started tying my own flys/jigs this past week. I originally picked it up to start tying my own FnF jigs for bass, but I am now planning on tying some crappie jigs as well. I bought this "fly-ty kit" from a local tackle shop just to have something to use. But now i'm not sure my bobbin is the best choice. I started out using regular sewing thread just to get the feel for things, and I thought that may have been why my thread kept breaking. But then i got some Danville Flat Waxed Nylon Thread from bass pro and it seems to fray like crazy and break almost just as much. So do you guys think that my bobbin is my problem more than likely? Here is the "kit" I bought...

Any helpful tips you guys could offer me would be greatly appreciated. One thing I was wondering about is, other than hook size and possibly weight, would there be any difference between FnF jigs and crappie jigs? And is the "fur"(i think its called dubbing) on the collars of 'typical' crappie jigs the "norm"?
Here's a few pics of the FnF jigs i've tied so far....
