Respool your reels anytime anywhere

This is a repost that I had to share.  So, credit goes to Bassinkorea over at the Ultimate Bass forums . If you haven’t checked them out, I highly recomomend it!

 I used to have a lot of problems respooling my reels. I used to put the new spools on the ground and wind onto the reel. Not really a problem until I went fishing……….LINE TWISTS  I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall! I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall! I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall!

Using an old (cheap) rod, I cut it up leaving only the reel seat. With me working in a large shipyard, I have almost unlimited access to almost anything I need. I attached some threaded bar to the end.

You can see I used tapered washers that hold the spool central and tight.

Here’s my Revo getting loaded up with power pro.

I have this in my office as I usually have time at lunchtimes to sort out my fishing gear, but it is 100% mobile so can be taken on the boat for emergancy use.
