Just getting caught up after our daughter's birth 3/3. Yeah, it is taking over a month to get caught up... anyhow... I tried using the sewing thread racks but didn't care for them because of the oddball spools like pearsalls and such, and i tie too many soft hackles to go without the pearsalls

Silks can be especially problematic, the stuff frays really easy. For storage I use the priority mail boxes of the long Japanese stuff, and small plastics from AC Moore/Michael s. Also, Cabelas carries silk glove liners, get a pair of these for when you handle the silk. And, when the fly

I use something similar to what Rick uses, but I had found one with 5 drawers. I have 2, but I wish I had a couple more. I just picked up a couple more of the 3 drawer ones, but they are not quiate as compact as the 5's. I also seen something on Ebay today that might work well.

I actually have one of those. I use it for self-tapping and self-drilling screws. I believe I bought mine many years ago at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Might have even been from Harbor Freight. Thank You, Alan Di Somma From: Pacres Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 9:02 AM To:

Threads used to show up at the fly shops in plastic boxes that would lay the spools flat in formed/depressed rows, and then these boxes would stack. They’d each hold about 16 to 20 spools. The shops used to give me these, and they work great. I used to stack them on a shelf, but now I store
