Why Cloth Reel Bags?

[foakes]

Got in a shipment of 400 reel bags this morning.

Was down to about a dozen of each size.

Folks ask why I use these for clients?

They protect the reel from bumps, scrapes, and fighting with other gear.

They are cotton —- so there is also no condensation as with plastics.

They are more professional looking.

Folks really like them.

Most of us toss business cards after a few months —- No one ever tosses a reel bag.

Lightweight and inexpensive.

Those look sharp!
Definitely better than a business card.

Yes sir Fred, I would have to agree!
Thought that was pretty neat, as well as very professional looking, the very first time I saw them. Thought is was pretty classy too!
You definitely go the extra distance for sure
When you buy a reel from me, you get it in a nice, NEW, white cotton sock, turned inside out, with some beautiful, black sharpie lettering, better than nothing, right lol!
I really like the orange ones, but the undyed ones are pretty, have their own appeal too!
You having a sale on these lol!

Everything Fred does is professional.
 I keep all my personal reels in bags but they look a little different. My favorites get nicer bags...

Had some questions from some members as to where I get these bags.

Packco Inc., in Bensenville, Illinois

The large white ones are .39¢ each if you buy 100.  No tax, free shipping.  Orange ones are a little less.

I have a local screen printer who does the logo for $1 each.

I also have a lot of the Crown Royal bags —- but since I don't drink, I only get what folks have given me over the years.

The bags are also good for lots of other things —- tools, cameras, electronics, tech cords, anything really.

I generally get 400 at a time —- and that lasts around 8-9 months.

Everyone likes them.

Best, Fred

First class and effective.  And not just useful for reels.  The smaller bags are really nice for all of those extra spools with line on them whether they be for your Jiggy Quick Change or your spinners.  I will say in my spinning stuff I have a small stash of Mitchell spool cases that I am fond of.  I am "guessing" that back in the day when you purchased a Mitchell Spinner that in many purchases it came with an extra spool and the case to protect it.- john

Those bags look reel nice!
I use Bank Money bags, but the old cloth types are no longer available, everything is plastic now.

I use Crown Royal bags too, Fred's in on display above my workbench.

If I get a bunch I usually wrap them in bubble wrap to separate. More for my appeasement as after getting everything as clean and new looking as you can I want it to at least last until they get home. lol
Usually they just give them to you in a plastic bag full of reels knocking around. Can't understand it. All that time and money they put into their reels. I just shake my head.

I believe that here in the UK that Daiwa give away bags to customers who have their reels serviced.
I got 3 reels with original bags from new.
