Does anyone know of a source for thread tension magnets, I want to build my own thread carriage using magnets. Mudhole is out of stock until April and I don't want to wait that long. Thanks in advance

Hello Jeff.

Get a hold of Roger Wilson and he will give you a list of places to get them.

Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines.

Thanks Robert will do.

I ordered these once the ones for my particular thread carrage went out of stock everywhere:

[totalelement.com]

I havent received them quite yet or tried them out but the totalelement should have whatever size and ID you're looking for.

Hff sells thread tensioner magnets.

Google Apex Magnets.
I built mine using those.

I used 4 magnets - 2 doublel up.

So two 0.5" X 0,25" X 0.25 bore opposed by same on other side.

HFF offers the magnets used on the RailWrapper

I have been using Apex for years. I use magnets for fly tying, rod building, as tool holders and a bunch of other things. Apex always has what I need.
