I've been building rods for 40 yrs. Started by using a book to tension thread. Then started using gravity. (Which gives absolutly constant tension and allows you to back up under tension.)
Thought I'd try another approach so I bought a thread tensioner from Cabelas. Well I really feel stupid but I can't figure out how to use the durn thing. I see no way to attach it to anything, don't know if it should put tension on the thread oe the spool. Can anyone enlighten me?
