PENN Fishing HD Line Winder Fishing Line Spooler, Black

Awesome spooler, I've been fishing for over 50 years, I 've made my own spoolers, bought the nonsense, used a friend and a screwdriver. This spooler is impressive and simple, has enough weight, to not tip or pull or fall. You can tension the spooler to your requirements. I've used it on bulk spools of 3000 yards down to the pic there a 1" wide seaguar leader. Worked perfect. Get this thing if you're a real fisherman and respool regularly.

Very sturdy, can adjust pressure for braid. Holds the larges spools.

This is a quality line winder! Adjust the tension and away you go! A real joy to own! If you fish a lot or a little respooling is a chore! This item takes the hassle out of it! Must buy!

Over all a good device. Way over priced but does a better job than any other device that I have used. I have only used it with braided line and only with power pro or suffix 832. The smaller spools 150 -600 yds are a bit more work to do. I had to keep adjusting the tension on it to keep the line tight on reel. The best spools i used were the 1200 yd suffix spools. They have a shallow indentation on both sides that fit the tension cones perfectly. Once I set the tension it stayed set. It’s still not fun to load up 400+ yards of line but cheaper than having a store do it to multiple reels. It will also give a good idea of what it’s like to recover a lot of line from that one that didn’t get away. You can probably build something that would work as well but I am not that inclined to do so

I used to use a cardboard box with a pencil through it and tension the line by squeezing the box and/or wet cloth holding the line to the rod. It works but is kind of a pain. After respooling a few rods, I decided to try this Penn line winder out. Wow, was it so much easier. It took probably 20% of the time and wasn't as awkward or painful on the arms. I used a 3000yd spool of 50lb braid and a 500 yd spool of 60lb mono. They both fit and worked flawlessly and I really liked how you can set the tension simply by turned the wheel bolt tighter or looser. I was worried it wouldn't stay on my dining table and I would need to clamp it down or something. However, it has rubber feet and a bit of weight to it that allowed it to stay put without moving at all. I'm really impressed! It seems like an item that will hold up for many years. Kind of like a one and done purchase which makes the price worth it over time by far even if the initial investment seems a bit on the high side.

This is the one to own. I have tried so many others over the past 50 years and none compare to this for winding line onto fishing reels. Made by Penn, it is strong, built to last with disk washers to adjust & set tension to load line with even pressure onto a reel. I keep fresh line on 20+ different set ups to fish bass tournaments. Get the best and forget the rest.

Great product! Easy to assemble, and fairly sturdy. Tension and stability are good for spooling heavy 65 pound plus lines on big reels.

The one to buy. Heavy enough to stay in place and handles all size of line spools well.
