I've tried to imitate this method but have failed. Might be time to give it another go.
I usually tie several every day I go fishing... but he has done millions...

School's still out on that knot. After watching this I'm not sure some failures weren't because of the tag end being under the hook eye?
not a knot but a tip ...
Video: How to Make Your Own Tippet-Spool Tenders
https://vimeo.com/102070870
Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions, has a special treat for us this week. Instead of walking us through a fly pattern, he offers step-by-step instructions for making elastic tenders that will control any material that comes on a spool—tippet material, monofilament or fluorocarbon, or even tying materials. For less than $10, you can make a bunch of these things and gain control over unruly materials.
DIY Spool Tenders
1. 1/4-inch Soft Stretch Elastic braid.
2. Clear plastic tubing, 3/16 outside diameter and 1/8 inside diameter.
3. 1/4-inch heat-shrink tubing.
Tools: Scissors, ruler, bodkin, candle, hot-glue gun, xtra-fine Sharpie.
I've been making these per his recipe for years. Thumbs up.

I'm going to give it a go - but the spools I need it for are the very narrow TroutHunters they come with just double rubber bands and they tend to break
