KastKing Patented Radius Line Spooler, Compact Fishing Line Spooling Tool for Spinning Reels and Casting Reels – Line Spooler Spools Fishing Reels Without Line Twist, Great Fishing Gifts

Initially I bought the basic version but the box was damaged so as I was about to exchange it I noticed this version had the scissors. It was only a few dollars more so I decided to get this one instead. Looking for scissors that cut braid clean is about $10, so this worked out.The good:It is a pretty compact set and can fit in a pocket of my tackle box for easy storage.The scissors are pretty sharp and cut braid clean.It comes with two straps that you put around the spool and that helps manage the line and gives tension as you reel.Pretty decent and easy to use.The bad: it didn’t fit above the first guide on the rod (wasn’t tight enough for a good fit), but the way this goes on I really didn’t need the line to go through the first guide anyway, I just gave it a bit extra tension and the line goes through a built in guide so it all worked.Final thoughts: this is a nice addition to the tackle box and makes loading a reel pretty easy, and it comes with scissors which is a bonus.

So easy to use, portable, and fits easily in tackle box.

The line spooler was working great at first until the guide started shredding my line. Sadly I killed about a third of a spool of high end floro before I noticed. Now I am afraid to try it again as I don't want to waste new line. Pay attention while using it, it appears to be the seem in the little metal eyelet in the guide that started killing my line.UPDATE: Adjusting to 4 stars due to Kastking customer service. They contacted me and replaced the faulty line spooler with a new one. The new one appears to work perfectly fine, but I will 100% be monitoring the metal eyelet for damage.

Very well made and helps if you want to put line on your reel by yourself. I kayak fish so if I am out, it makes it very easy for me to put line on my reel.

I've spooled a couple spinning reels with this.Not intuitive. I had to watch a couple videos to figure it out.Once I got it figured out, it worked pretty well.One flaw I noticed is that the screw part is too big to fit thru the middle hole of some line spools. I had a spool of Spidewire braid that the screw didn't fit. I improved with a screwdriver, mounted it in place of the screw and made the device work anyway, easily.The scissors are meh. I'll use them as a back up.I don't regret this purchase, but not sure I would buy again if I needed to replace it.Will prob check out a different spooling device next time.

Im brand new to fishing and spooling reels is an absolute PAIN! I don't mind learning my knots but spooling? I could use some help lol. This thing is incredible. It's extremely light, fits on pretty much any size rod you got, and the bands included to set your own tension are great. Spooling is usually a 15 minute ordeal for me, this knocks it down to not even 5! AND if you're out on the water and need to respool, you can! No need to go back to the truck! If you're not 100% sure how to use it, watch KastKings guide on YouTube. Order this thing! You will not regret.

Its sturdy build ensures stability, while the adjustable arms can accommodate different spool sizes, making it versatile for various fishing setups. The smooth operation prevents line twists and tangles, ensuring a hassle-free spooling experience. The compact design allows for easy storage and portability, making it a great addition to any angler’s gear.

In fact, it’s actually kinda great. The only complaint is that it is made from a fairly weak-feeling plastic that I don’t expect to last for more than maybe two or three years, but considering its low price that’s not really a big deal.When I first opened it up and looked at it I almost just sent it back, but I had a bunch of spinning reels and a couple bait-casters that needed new line so I put it to use. I still haven’t done the bait-casters yet, but it worked really well with all of my spinning reels. It made putting line on the reels an easier and quicker process than it has been for many decades. I would like to see it have more rod-blank options because the smallest diameter hole on this thing is still a little too large for very light and fast action rods, but being able to tighten tension in two separate ways helped making putting line on reels on small, thin rods fairly easy.I would recommend this to you if you are in doubt, but there’s also sturdier ones around if you’re willing to spend a larger amount of moolah. If you want one that is economical and does its intended job then this little bad boy from KastKing is worth your investment.
