Anyone have a use for old spools?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a use for old spools from thread, flosses, tinsels, coper...etc...?

I seem to always have a few around just collecting dust that end up getting thrown out, but there must be something they are good for...right...? :dunno:

I like using Kreinik materials, but they come on a long tube, so when I want them to be used in a bobbin, I transfer them. Same as some other yarns and wools that come on a card or simmilar

what ive always thought of is buying kevlar on BIG spools and spooling it on the spools for a lot cheaper than what the fly tying companys charge

I respool mine with 2lb or 4lb mono - makes for a great mono thread - and I've never found anything that spins deer hair better than 4lb mono.
