Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 19, 2016 Super User Posted March 19, 2016 Don't most bulk spools come with a little piece of tape? That is what I generally use. Bulk spools of Abrazx come with a plastic sleeve that fits over the spool - that works good. For reel fill size spools - I'm just careful on how I open the package and I put the spool back in the pack after I'm finished spooling. I can often get 2 reel fills out of 1 filler spools - just depends. Keep some stick on labels in your shop and label the used boxes & spools. Info I record is date/ approximate yardage/ which reel . 2 stickers - on on the actual spool and 1 on the package. I am frequently stunned how often one gets separated from the other. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 19, 2016 Super User Posted March 19, 2016 Piece of tape works good. I like how Silver Thread ships their narrow spools. They have a wide stretchy band with a piece sticking out to grab ahold of for removal. 1 Quote

Super User OkobojiEagle Posted March 28, 2016 Super User Posted March 28, 2016 I've been using a simpler version of the shown tender for my leader spools: elastic band the width of line spool width; cut 1" longer than circumference of spool; over-lap ends of elastic and sew 1/2" from end of over-lap leaving tab to easily pull elastic band; end of line is pulled and cut from under outside edge of elastic. oe Quote
