The formation and bulk packaging of continuous wet roving is provided. Glass fibers are attenuated from a bushing, gathered into a roving, and collected as a loose, wet mass in a container assembly. A rotating deflector assembly is used to reduce the velocity of the wet roving in-line and to direct the wet continuous roving into the container. The deflector is formed of a plurality of fingers extending radially from a central hub. The curved end of the fingers permits both for the capture and easy release of the roving from the deflector. A stripper assembly may be used to remove the wet continuous roving from the fingers. After being released from the fingers, the wet roving is permitted to fall into the container assembly under the force of gravity. The wet bulk continuous roving can be utilized in various processes that form long fiber thermoplastics and reinforced composite articles.
