Line Spooler

[Bo Bryant]

I put together a homemade line spooler for my spinning reels. If any of you have made one and would post pics, I would appreciate it. I would like to look at them. I am going to try and post pictures of mine. This is the first time I have tried to post pictures so if it doesn't work, just chalk it up to not knowing what I am doing.

How does it work bo? Looks good...

That looks neat!

I bought one of the berkley jobs last week, but the ends are too close for spinning reels to work well. Did like the line stripper though,,,

That looks good. What are running your line through? looks like ear plugs.

The spool rests on a 5/8 inch dowel, held in place by a screw. I have the line so that it comes off the spool the same as it goes on the reel. I had an old reel that I cut off, drilled a hole on the backer board on the other end. I drilled a hole through that board for the line to come through. I place a plastic bushing on two small boards, rounded the board off so the line would not catch on them. I thread the line through the bushing, the hole on the other end, tie the line on the spool on the reel. I hold the line with a wet cloth while it is spooled on. It doesn't look professional, but it really spools a reel. I just clamp it on a work table so it doesn't move around. I am going to mount it on a table that I have with some screws.
