I haven't adjusted the pole clamps any lower, but when I used to have to thread mine it always left about an inch of softer loop velcro on the skull cap exposed. Now theres no velcro showing. You are correct, you now have an extra inch of strap available. Bonus. 😉

Do you have to move the existing skull cap clips lower on the poles to allow for the increased length of the Velcro tabs? I know you can just retighten the Velcro part, but then I’d have an inch or more of flappy Velcro. My clips are already as low as I’d dare put them.
I’ve just said the word “Velcro” way too many times lol 😂.

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!
