New Gadget

I have discovered a new line winding gadget. I use very light line, usually 1# or 2#, so I respool often as line that light does not hold up for very long. I have used a variety of ways to hold the line spool while filling the reel. From the pencil between my feet, held by my toes to a home made wooden stand. 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.

Curious as to what brand 1# and 2# test you use.

Looks like a manufactured device. What is the name and who makes it?

Search "Line Winder" on Alibaba .com and you'll see a bunch of similar products ... so my guess is it's made in China. The link says Brand - Generic ... so that's your first clue :) (it could be any one of a number of Chinese mfg's).

I ordered from the Walmart page, but it was mailed to me. I don't think it is available in-store.

I'll give one a try. Thanks.

have that exact gadget works great.

I have that device as well. It took me a little while to figure out how to get it adjusted correctly but after I did, it works great.

MY winder is not sophisticated. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to line a reel shaft with a target and push a button. :cool: Made in America. ha

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.

That is what you told me at the shindig and that I believe. I made this rig for my use, so I put it out there for everybody to judge. I appreciated your input at the shindig.

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