To add, years later, do NOT trust this type of carabiner!! I’ve had them fail multiple times on me to the point I don’t even put the extra key on one anymore. Buy a different carabiner! Doesn’t even have to be fancy, just for whatever reason these style ones open when you least want them to.

Beautiful. Just made a bunch of these for fly tying stuff. I find that dipping the tubing part in water after 4:14 helps keep the elastic from burning when heating shrink tube. Also would cool off and harden the hot glue if doing these quick enough for that to be a problem.

Great video and information as always. I've been using a small plastic bead from the craft store instead of the clear plastic tubing. Much easier as you don't have to cut and melt the plastic tubes. Just glue the round bead to the elastic ribbon and add shrink tubing.

Mr Flagler - you have done it, again! From tippett rings with Barbie, fleecing peacock quills of their fluff and sharpening up the end of my whip finisher, this is great! I do have several spools of unwieldy fly tying material and this will tame them. Also, will make these for all tippett, Maxima and Amnesia. Perfect timing for Salmon River season.

Made these before and loved them. Ended up giving some away or losing some so I just made 2 new sets. I end up using different colored elastic, pink for Fluoro and white for nylon. Used a sharpe on the elastic to indicate the tippet size.

I found the 3/16" OD tubing at Petsmart in the aquarium section. Loew's, Home Depot did not have the tubing in the 3/16" dimension. Shrink tubing at Lowe's in the electrical section and the strethc elastic in the sewing department of Hobby Lobby. Great idea, easy to make and one of those "why didn't I think of this?" Thank you

Great to know. I also wanted to add the shopping list: i) 3/16" OD and 1/8" ID plastic tubing (Petsmart); ii) 1/4" shrink to 1/8" diameter heat shrink tube (Home Depot electrical section - Raychem brand shown in video); 1/4" soft stretch elastic weave (Hobby Lobby). Thanks for letting us know where to go for these supplies.

Thanks so much for the video. I have accumulated different flourocarbon tippets from different manufacturers, and they all have different ways to retain the tippet. None of them seems to work very well, and I have tippets dangling all the time when I am on the river. I made up a bunch of these last night, and I think they work better than anything on the market. It doesn't even matter if the spool is wider than the elastic, because as long as the elastic is tight, it controls the tag end so well. Thanks again!

I had to go with 3/8" shrink tubing. Using 3/16 O.D. plastic tubing and 1/4" I.D. shrink tubing leaves only 1/16" difference. two layers of braided elastic was thicker than that and the 1/4" tubing was too difficult to slide over the plastic tubing and two layers of braided elastic. Other than that, they are easy to make and work well.
@barneyewing2664

John, I was able to get the 1/4 over everything by stretching the braided elastic and working the shrink tubing up. I am going to get some 3/8 tubing to see if the process is any easier.

That's cool. Just what I need. Thanks! Can't understand why tippet manufacturers don't make better spool tenders. When you spool off the tippet the tender would need to rotate around the spool so I guess you wouldn't want it too tight?

Made a bunch of these; some with tubing, but switched to using square alphabet beads after I picked up a huge bag of them from the dollar store. The alphabet bead size is perfect for most spools width, is about the same width as the stretch elastic, and not too wide for the heat shrink to go over. I have a question though, is the tippet post at the beginning also a DIY creation? If so, what materials did you use? Thanks!

@tightlinevideo
8 жыл бұрын
For me, the tippet is much smoother to pull off and put back on the spool if needed, it's a bit easier to get hold of the tippet because it sticks out at 90 degrees, and if the tippet is wound back in too far, these are much easier to rethread. But the biggest reason I make them is to use on spools that don't come with tenders ie. Maxima and Amnesia to name a few.
