Line clips?

[LlyrEdwards]

Hello All,

Just wondering if any of you make your own line clips and how? I have in the past just used an elastic band wrapped around the blank and put the line in this but it is a little un-sightly!

I normally free line for Perch with the spool arm open so need something to stop the line from spilling out. I have made my own drop off indicators but I really dont like using them if I can avoid it!


Thanks,

Llyr

Before line clips were incorporated onto rods I used to tape a matchstick to the rod and tuck the line under that

I would have thought you a bit of split bamboo could be cut, fettled and sanded and shaped nicely then whipped into place to match the other tyings on your rod.

Now that is a wonderful idea and exactly what I think I will do! Thanks Shaun

Old fashioned hair grips have served well over the years.
