Line Spool Holder

Wed, 09/23/2009 - 09:31 -- jmaslar

I could not find a simple, yet satisfactory, line winder to load fishing line onto a reel. Too often they were wimpy held in place with suction cups, attached to the rod itself, or even made of plastic.  (I still have pencil lead embedded in my hand due to the failure of a suction cup on a pencil sharpener.) So, I turned the project over to the Research Department at TroutUniversity.

 
Steve Maslar a mechanical engineer took up the challenge and has designed a simple but effective line spooler for winding line on fishing reels.  It uses laser technology in manufacturing a stainless steel bracket which together with zinc plated components provides a durable assembly at a very affordable price.
 
Features Include:
Accommodates a wide range of lines     
Can be mounted on a wall or on a bench
Easily removed from its mounting
Provides rapid tension adjustment
Add’l arbors available for quick line changes
