tegater 789 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 They hold a decent amount of twine, but I also find them more comfortable in the hand. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 They hold a decent amount of twine, but I also find them more comfortable in the hand. they say twice as much but thats not the case but they are far superiour to my traditional hand made oak ones, ive got 2 sizes but nearly always use the large one.
