Default Loading bobbins from bulk
I'm sure this was asked here before but I couldn't find the post. Does anyone know how to load empty bobbins from a large bulk spool. I want to load some with bulk fluorocarbon and doing it by hand will be a misery!

Steve,

Try googling "smart spooler" - not sure that the company that makes/made them is still in business but the tool itself is superb.

Kind regards

Hand drill,with peg in chuck and cork or eraser pushed on above spool to give reasonable tension.bulk spool on stem of flytying vice (or proper line tensioner £5 GAC) again with rubber as tensioner.
