Instead of rubber bands I use my wife's hair Scrunchy but don't tell her!
For those of you who keep your hook in spring, cork, or silicone. How do you keep line from unraveling? ESP when wrapping up steel leaders, or heavy flouro it's springy. Sure the hook stats put but my tipups don't have any tension. The spool is free spinning and line wil unravel.
you may have over loaded the spool??? i only use about half of the line on most tip ups and it sit low on the spool but i do use stuff liek 45 # test too so it does over load the spool if you use the hole thing. i also use rubber bands doubled over for the hook and around the spool for the rest a couple time keeps the line on it seems. if you need me too i can shoot a photo of it ? may not work for all i do use single hooks there easyier to remove from the fish if it to small... i want to swich to circle hook but have heard soem negtives about them not sure if it was true or not of course it was on the internet lol's ...
i drilled a couple of small holes towards the outside of my reel...wind the line up and put the tip of the hook in the hole keeps everything neat and your hook stays in one place
Thanks. Maybe I do. Most spools are filled 1/4 in or less from the edge
I use velcro cable ties, they work on tip up spools, fly reels etc.
doesn't the barb of the hook get caught in the scrunchy?
