Title: Spool Tamers
Post by: David L. Darnell on January 24, 2007, 01:59:15 PM: I've been making these, just about got one for ever spool that I hold in my hands that doesn't ever make it on a bobbin. 3" of stretch lace, round pony bead, Gorilla Glue, 3/8" srink tubing.

I use a gun metal checkering file to rough up the bead, glue one side at a time with duct tape.

My mother always said I was to organized :)

You name it brother. I can come to Elk and fish or take off a day in the week and host you up here. Either one works for me!

Post by: David L. Darnell on November 08, 2007, 05:08:29 PM: the way I see it, it's sinful to take a day off and come to the Elk, I say Caney with some generation, sink tips, big gaudy Streamers ;)

But if you want to fish the stinky Elk, we can do that.
