It is also useful for Fly fishing reels. I used to have to use pencils for spools, or tie line to some tree....it was always a hassle. This works fine right on the kitchen table. You put the reel on the spooler, add the spool of line and adjust it for the tension you need, and start winding. It's great! 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Good stripper, spooling is a challenge., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Berkley Portable Line Spooling Station (Sports) The Berkley line or reel spooling station is a somewhat useful device for the price. The set up of the spool station was not too difficult, and the instructions are permanently attached to the bottom of the station, a good idea. It helps if you attach the station to a table or bench with a c-clamp to hold it down.If you look at the picture closely you will see that a baitcasting or a closed face reel sits in the same position it sits on a reel as a top mounted reel. It really works great for this kind of reel. But I found out that my bottom mounting open-faced spinning reel has to mount UPSIDE DOWN since it sits on top of the station. This forces you to reel in the opposite direction you are used to in order to put line on the spool, or you can hold the entire spooling station upside down which means you can't clamp it. Neither of these solutions is comfortable. In my case I have several vintage Mitchell 300 reels worth the large spools, and they take a long time to load...

I have already spooled 3 reels, 2 conventional Penns and 1 Shakespeare spinning reel. I've had no problems at all. The spinning reel was a little hard to get used to turning backwards to load line but after maybe 50 - 60 feet of line it was no problem. This is great if you have multiple reels and change line every year. The included line stripper works great. Over all, this was a great buy. |
