I was wondering where you can find/buy unique line stops ( i have all DR reels which use an extra handle as the stop) but have seen ones with skulls and things. I would mainly like the change mine so others will be able to more easily locate and confirm my primary tie off when sharing a reel.
I like using FRP nuts on mine to go with the nuts on my rEvo cover .
I know people who use little plastic toy dinosaurs and things of that nature. You can find em for cheap at any place that sells toys...
Plus one for toys or random hardware.
I don't know if they still have it, but there used to be a fishbowl or candy jar at CE that had a bunch of big plastic beads sort of like costume jewelry or the beads sometimes used in hair braids. If you happen to be there ask them if they still have any left.
NO ONE will touch this one by mistake:

Can also be used as directional marker.
Except that it points in rather than out :roll:Quote:

If your reel stays deployed longer than four hours, call your doctor.Quote:

I'm on OC, in and done way faster than I should be. At least that's what I'm told.
I like to use porcelain beer bottle stoppers, the ones with the wire clamping system like on a grolsch....once the wire is removed there's a nice hole for the line. There are also collectable ones if you wish to get fancy.

Being a retired electronics engineer, I put drilled-out wire nuts on all my reels. Very easy to identify by feel in zero-vis.
Tried to post image of one of my reels, but it did not show up. Sorry.
I think that would be great on a retractable dog leash.... (un-jamable reel)Quote:

I found some neon colored train engines about the size of a hairball. I got a handful for a couple of dollars. I wish I'd gotten more. I left a couple in some poor sad caves that didn't have any line of their own. If you find them, let me know ;-)

If we're diving the same cave, and Jack comes up missing from your tie off.....it wasn't me! <fingers crossed> LOVE THOSE!!!Quote:

I had an idea the other day that one might be able to drill out a lego head and use that (but it might be a bit small). My other idea was a spent .45 casing just pop out the primer and run the line thru the hole:reelright
What about going to a home depot and checking out their kitchen cabinet pull knobs.
