netabrookie 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 flytire, I went at it again. I had better results by tying my floss on the top and the bottom of the hook and then rotating the vise a quarter turn. Before, the knot or cross-over was ending up on the top and bottom but now they are on the sides of the shank. Its still too big of a pain to be practical.

perchjerker 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 After having slept a few nights on this one, i now suspect it may be intended to be used with two spools of wire for the benefit of those who do midge larvae with bodies of two different colors of wire wound simultaneously. Just a thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 Maybe but it only holds one spool. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 We don't either Hellgrammite, that's why we are all guessing and trying to come up with some way this thing could be used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phg 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think that it's just a gimmick to pad sales. None of the suggestions are particularly workable. To use 2 spools of anything, they have to spool off at the same rate, and that's just not going to happen. I do, occasionally, use 2 bobbins, but I don't see this contraption as being particularly useful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellgrammite 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 Anyone emailed the seller or manufacturer yet and asked? I am like dying to know what this thing's purpose is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 I stil lcan't see how it would be used with two spools :/ Any tension and they would pingout. Unless you put a bitof dowel or summat throughthe middles but it would be easier to spool uptwo bobbins instead. I apologise for anytypos. Been drinkign lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joops 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 I don't know what its for, but if anyone really wants to know ask a company called "future tackle" angling supply's based in Wales. That's who sells it. Should be Far out tackle supply's.. Merry Christmas all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvendon 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2012 Anyone emailed the seller or manufacturer yet and asked? I am like dying to know what this thing's purpose is! Good luck there. This seller doesn't sell or ship to the USA, and from my experience, won't even answer questions from folks over here. I asked about some tinsel that he had and never got a reply. Most of the folks world wide will at least be polite enough to answer a question about something that they're selling there, but this guy must have a chip on his shoulder about folks living over here. He's been on there for a while now, go ahead and see if you get a reply. Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtrout58 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2012 What a crock. Everyone knows a bobbin must have an odd number of tubes to be useful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
