I currently have a couple of sets of solar titanium bobbin heads with the plastic line clips.. they are ok but I'd like to change them to some stainless ball clips...i know they are 2ba threaded.

Can anyone recommend any that will fit?

Thanks

Not the steve neville one's, I got some having been told they would fit. The threads not lomg enough. I have the solar stainless ball clips, but I find them hard to line up correctly. The thread depth is not compatible. I used i candy inserts to make up the difference but it's not ideal. Since solar went to china for production they are crap. Take a look at lucky lockey tackle website. They are the real deal. Hope you can find what you need.

I got the matrix ones and still had to use silicon rings to get them to line up correctly. It's cost me a lot more than it should have to get a perfect set of bobbins. These are my back up, or guest set, if you like. I usually use my fox illuminated bobbins, which I've had ever since they came to market. Best is best. Never bettered yet.

The matrix stainless clips is what I use. A small rubber O ring allows alignment.
