ABSTRACT:
The combination of a spool having a core with a central axis, a supply of flexible line with a plurality of turns wrapped over the core around the central axis, and a control strip having a body which in an operative state on the core extends around the core over the supply of flexible line to prevent the flexible line from inadvertently unwrapping. The core is movable relative to the control strip around the central axis. A gripping portion on the control strip is graspable to hold the control strip substantially stationary while rotating the core around the core axis. An opening is provided through the control strip, with the flexible line extending from one of the turns of the flexible line through the control strip opening to a useable portion of the flexible line that projects outwardly from the control strip. The control strip opening is located so that with the user simultaneously grasping the gripping portion of the control strip and the useable portion of the flexible line and exerting oppositely directed forces thereon in a first line, the useable portion of the flexible line projects from the one turn in a second line that is substantially tangent to the one turn and parallel to the first line.
