I have a Coats & Clark spool of clear mono thread that is 1 3/4 inches wide. Most tying thread spools are about 1 1/4inches. Do they make bobbins that are wider than regular? I'd really like to put the spool of mono to use.

Yes they do . I have a Coats & Clark 2 inch spool mounted in one right now. Not sure but I think I got it at Sportsman's Warehouse. Sorry ...don't remember the brand but very inexpensive.
Is it the Griffin Magnum? I looked at the Warehouse, but I'm not sure which one it is. Would you check yours for me? Thanks.Quote:

If you have a drill and an old empty regular size spool you could easily transfer most of the thread over to it. Attach the empty spool to a long bolt, chuck it in the drill, and slowly spin the thread over onto it.
Is it this one?Quote:

If I can't get a bobbin to fit I'll give it a try.Quote:

Pricey, but Marc Pettijean's bobbin holder adjusts to different sized bobbins.
You might look to see if it gets that wide.
Bryon,
Is your tongue in your cheek?
Hi Byron, no offense, but I won't pay that much money for a bobbin. I bought a cheap one to abuse by bending it.Quote:
