Chenille Holder

[Nightprowler]

I tie a couple different jigs that require the chenille being half wrapped before another process is done. I got tired of the chenille unwrapping when I let go. I came up with this quickie idea and thought some other may have a need for them as well. It clips onto the chenille that hangs down and keeps tension. It works great and the beauty is, it's simple and cheap to make. The clips run $1 a dozen. You could use a heavy bolt if you don't have access to pouring lead.

Bet ssmall ones would help keep a piece of hackle out of the way too.

You should get a patent on that idea. Thanks for sharing.

If anyone would like me to make them some, let me know. I could make them for $1 each to cover my cost and add actual shipping. I'll send them to you and you could pay after receiving them, so you'll know actual shipping cost. The mold makes smaller ones (down to 1/8 I think). Let me know if I can help.

Could you just clip the chenille to the shank with the clip?
Good idea.
