Great Tip!

I was scrolling through some old "Midcurrent" articles and came upon this neat tip, so I decided to share it!

I would add that you can colour code them especially if you use similar brands (like Maxima ultragreen).

Good tip!

I'm not really sure this would work.If its not wide enough to cover the width of the spool would it not just come unraveled?I would think an ordinary rubber band would be better.

As the photo shows, I guess it works just fine with a "standard" sized tippet spool... Not sure why it wouldn't work on something as big as a Maxima spool, as the tag end goes through the hole to keep it from unraveling... I'll try it out tonight and let you know... As Dune pointed out to me yesterday, his exp. when using zip ties is that you get a sharp end when they are cut off... If that's the case then just melt it down to form a smooth surface...

Had another look and didn't see the mono going threw the hole of the zip tie.Should work on the large spools of Maxima and stop all those tag ends that stick out of your vest.I'll give it a try,thanks.
