Here's a cheap and easy way of controlling that tippet from unreeling off of the spool
These are the tippet tamers that I bought in a shop for about 5-6 bucks.
How to make your own
Material list
1/8" wide stretch elastic
Super Glue
Plastic Beads
Heat Shrink Tubing
Lighter
Cut a piece of stretch elastic to about 6 inches
Adhere the plastic bead to the elastic using the super glue
Slip on a short piece of heat shrink tubing and shrink it down with the lighter
Pass the tippet from the spool into the bead and put the tippet tamer onto the spool.
No more unspooled tippet
Apply the same process for your thread and wire spools.
Thanks for reading.

Great tip!!! I use tippet tamers for may wire spools. Now I can make than for any spool.
Thanks.
Hi Normand. Bought a few packages of these in different sizes because I had tippet all over the place. They work well. I also use them on my spools of leader material. Can't have too many.
