This isn't for something I've thunk of
, it's asking What do YOU do for tippet tenders to keep your tippet from unwinding off the spools (I didn't find anything in a search relating to this). The tippet I have featuring little keepers on the side of the spool that come off and get lost along with those crummy little elastic pony tail bands aren't cutting it and I am getting so frustrated
I am thinking about tossing them all and buying all new RIO tippet just to get the elastic spool tenders with the grommets for the tippet to pass through, and that's NOT very Frugal. I have a 4-day high alpine lakes trip coming up this Sunday and I don't want the aggrevation of the tippet spools disgorging themselves in my pack or in the talus or bush along the shorelines.
BTW, old RIO spools work nicely for mananging my 16' - 20' chrionomid leaders that used to wad up into a nightmarish tangle whenever I pulled them from a leader wallet. If I had more used up spools, problem solved.
