Terry Clip Tip

Regular readers will know I am lazy. One lazy thing I do is leave my home-made drop-back bobbins attached to my banksticks when I stuff them in my quiver. Every now and then one would pop off and drop to the bottom of the quiver's pocket. I was expecting one to pop off and get lost, so I came up with this quick fix. A section of cycle inner tube doubled  around the sticky-out bits of the Terry clip. It appears to do the job while still allowing the clip to be slid up and down the bankstick to set the bobbin. Suitably sized O-rings would probably do the same job and look much more like they were part of the design. But that would mean a trip to the DIY shop...
