Quote from: boon on Today at 02:12:43 AMValid point , I can see the wooden dowel grooving with real high drag . Got me thinking , I have some wind chime tubes that fit over the dowel loose enough to act as a bearing . I see another test coming .Quote from: oldmanjoe on May 20, 2024, 03:22:58 AMI would like to hear more about ,in-line drag solutions for spooling that seem like a good idea.
I will ask , what the difference when the line goes through the tip top and the guides as far as abrading the line under drag . Real question , just sharing ideas .
The in-line solutions I have seen involve threading the line around several drums/bobbins in such a way that the line does not slide, rather the drums/bobbins rotate and have their own small drag systems. This way there is no tension on the fill spool other than enough to pull line from it.
As to the difference between the guides and some dowels... guides (at least good ones!!) are made from extremely hard, smooth material, intended to minimise friction as much as possible. In the example of a zig-zag board, the dowels are intended to add friction. I would guess that if you spooled braid (especially a coarser, 4 strand braid) under heavy drag and ran it around a soft pine dowel you would either saw through the dowel or it would get so hot it broke the braid.
