Considering the advent of auto machines about 8 bodies and spools can be knocked out in a few minutes and considering the material the need to make things lighter only increases the effort and cost.
I think we are being taken to the laundry anyway. For the record another very high priced reel has recently failed the Max spool test,
the hole edges are 90 degree and very sharp. Its a grand a pop.
The more I see of wonder reels the more I like OF, it doesn't pretend to be bloody marvellous, just works very well.
But then I something of a dill, I think.
