Yep, 3D printing.

Trouble is with something like you need is the huge amount of time fiddling to get the design working perfect. Its just not worth it. Sorry....

Thanks Karlos. Appreciate it.

The £5 will cover all costs to get these in an envelope and to the PO. Nothing more than a bit of fun whilst working from home. Just like designing simple stuff thats useful.

They look good, just bought some off eBay.

Normally I don't allow 'commercial advertising' but I wouldn't put this in that league...you're asking a fair price for something and I doubt you'll be giving up the day job just yet.

Keep up the good work...

From reading your post, I'm guessing yr doing 3d printing ,yes ?


If ,so are you able to make end covers that go on the back of reels ,for example Westerns do some for Daiwa reels,but I'm looking for some for my mini pits ,namely Shimano titanos xsa 4500 /5500...

I bought the last three from Felindre about 10 yrs ago,now I've got three perfects,end covers,but I need some spares ,as I intend to keep the reels ,had em 22 yrs already ,the potato peeler design is prone to splitting ,and my OCD is rampant!

Nice bit of product design . . . Get a rock solid patent on it quick before the lemmings copy it - then sell it back to 'em and retire!

Genius! I’ve never had a problem threading mine, but I’m all for something that saves a bit of time and effort during setup/packdown!

Great job.

We need to see more of this type of innovation and cottage industries in fishing. Most ultralight backpacking gear was built through the MYOG movement. (Make Your Own Gear).

I'm sure you will sell plenty. A simple engineered solution to an issue of wear & tear, and quicker set up & pack down. Satisfaction & Fulfilling indeed.

When ya got one hell of a boring IT job like me, making simple widgets like this is very fulfilling.

That looks decent, would be ideal for the fox frontier bivvy if it fits as you cant leave that skull cap on the bivvy when packing away.
I just leave my tempest skull cap on the bivvy all the time.
