Fit and buying advice
SMHAEN lists a 10 cm overall length for this red Regular model. It specifies spool length of 28 to 33.5 mm and a 25 mm diameter. Compare the shorter blue Pro Midge if your present holder keeps catching on the vise near a small fly.
Questions about this tool
Will it fit the spool I already use?
Measure the spool along its axis and across its flanges. Compare those measurements with the maker's Pro Regular specifications.
Can I adjust it while tying?
SMHAEN positions the tension control for one-finger adjustment while you hold the tool. Try changing the setting on a test wrap.
Is the blue Pro a shorter tool?
Yes. The maker lists the blue Pro Midge at 8.7 cm. Check the working clearance you need before choosing between the two.
