Look on Ebay.
There used to be a bloke up in Cairns. Did them for the Game boats and  tourists.

Used to do 'em for me. Size and weight\ends to suit.

Aaron Concord:
Mack,

If you need wind-ons, I can make them for you.

I use a doubled length of dacron for the 'sleeve' and gelspun for the whipping.  I don't use glue since I have a jig which helps apply more tension to the mono inside the sleeve of dacron.
These wind-ons can be used for max drag applications due to the manufacture process.
I mainly make them for myself and mates, though the list is growing, so I thought I'd offer.

The leader material is typically Momoi Standard or XL, though I can use shockleader or fluorocarbon as well.  Leader range is 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600.  There can be some variance depending on the brand of leader used, though the above mentioned is a good starting guide.

PM me if you are still after some and I can give you prices and leader types.

Cheers

Aaron.
Righto.......back to making some more 100lbers!
