[Leica] 35mm Stainless Steel Reels

Agreed. Just bypass it (wrap around it).

I have Hewes as well (probably the only thing that little guy and I
will ever agree upon), but the clip for 120 is a pain to use. I just
bypass it. If you hold the film in place with your left hand as you
load the reel (if you are right handed), you won't need the clip.
After a couple of revolutions, it will just stay put without you
having to hold it.
