Hello,
I have great difficulty using the line clips on my spinning reels and tired of rubber bands wearing out quickly. What do you guys use to hold line on your spinning reels?
Thanks

I use the line clips a lot Paul (the trick is using your fingernail to guide the line in),

but I also linked on the tackle tinkering page to this soft velcro tape - you'll find other people's ideas on this thread

The velcro tape I use is sold for electronics as hook and loop cable tape, and in a few widths

I find a lot of other uses for it, also, securing rods in rod holders, holding 2-pc rods together - any kind of quick strapping that you want to be secure and easy to remove.

Here's another idea - elastic webbing with ladder-lock buckles:

note you can buy the parts cheaper to make many of your own

The velcro rolls work great.Lots of uses as BD states.Not all line clips are created equal.I cut the tops off old socks and they stretch nicely around smaller reels for travel.I am usually a disorganized mess, but when i arrive at a destination i want as little set up time as possible so i have everything set up to go in minutes.
