Bobbins, reels (6)

I believe the answer is:

spools

This clue is a double definition.

'bobbins' is the first definition.
('spool' can be a synonym of 'bobbin')

'reels' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for spools that I've seen before include "Winds" , "Bobbins, reels" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
