Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 Me, I've long saved at least a few empty standard thread spools and have them ready to load thread onto.... At times I do a fair amount of tying with re-used monofilament (4, or 6lb, mostly when tying up bucktail jigs on my vise) and an empty spool mounted on a short section of old fishing rod - then into the chuck on my rodbuilding lathe and we're of to the races... I can load a spool of thread or line in just a moment. Very handy... Here's a pic of my more than forty year old homemade rod turning setup... very useful for lots of fishing chores along with rod crafting work... All those years ago you had to make your own setup, nowadays ready made lathes for rodbuilding are widely available.. the motor that powers it (an old sewing machine motor) is out of sight behind the pulley.. and the control is the foot pedal that came with the motor...
