If I fished like Doug (M R Dux) with lots of reels and thousands of yards of line, I definitely would have one of your motorized reel machines. I got my doohickey just to keep from holding the spool with my feet when I need to re-line.

After this year's Shindig, which is West Kentucky's yearly get together where Cane Pole demoed his new electric winder I went looking for something a bit less complicated.

And I found this:

Attachment 360359

When set up and held upright the spool rotates as you fill the reel, eliminating line twist.

There are a few videos on Youtube showing it in action. It works very well.
One note: There are multiple sellers on the web, some charging much more than others. I looked for a while and found the least expensive to buy one. The link is below.

Thanks a bunch. Needed this and did not want to spend my kids inheritance (smile).
