Rated 5 out of 5Â by dozer02 Works as advertised.
This Spooling station worked fine for stripping and refilling 8 different reels. The only thing I would say could be improved is the tension springs made from plastic. I think it would've been better with steel springs but the plastic ones do the job ok, just not sure how long they'll last. Overall I like this product and would recommend it to anyone that goes through line the way I do.

I know we all have spent time spooling line and cursed when it didn't go just right. I have used many Berkley products over the years and always been happy. The Berkley Portable Line Spooling Station continues to please me. I fish 3 or 4 days a week the lakes, reservoirs have many rocks and delta tend to be hard on line. I spool up a few times a month. The Berkley Station makes spooling quick and effortless. I can not say enough it is great and am telling my friends about it.

Very simple to do. My 6 year old grandson does it for me. I strongly suggest this to anyone who has trouble with there hands (as I do).

I bought one of these several years ago, in fact, I got many years service out of it. Finally the plastic spool tensioners broke, and of course you can't buy parts, so I ordered a new one.
The plastic in the new one is so thin that the socket that holds the rod, which in turn holds the spool of new line, broke on the first usage. I can't get at it to try to glue it, but if I could, it would still be too thin and weak to hold anyway.
Back to a pencil held between my toes like in the old days...

I have several saltwater spinning reels with upwards of 30 poundtess one them, has anyone used this winder with heavier line?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
It will hold 3000 yd spools of braid, however, the plastic is so thin that it broke the first time I used it.I never attached a reel to it - couldn't see the sense in taking it off the rod.
A:Â
i couldn't even fit my salt water reels on it.A:Â
I don't fish saltwater but it works good on spinning reel as well as bait casters.A:Â
I spooled 4 with 300yds of 25lb line with no difficulty. I am sure 30 lb would work just as well.A:Â
It is not working with spinning reels, at all. You can not attach the spool with the line horizontally. So the line will twist.A:Â
Hi, I think this product will work with any reel size however, ensure you place electrical tape around the reel bar so it fits tight in the slot. If you don't, you will have a tangled mess..A:Â
I've gone as high as 60 pounds. Not for saltwater but for my flippin rods. I didn't notice ant difference in usage.Details:Â
The unit comes with two washers/grommets... not to sure where to fit these...
Answers
A:Â
looks like they are extra's for stablizing spools on the metal bar
A:Â
They go on the metal bar that holds the spool of line; one on either side. They provide the tension so the spool just doesn't spin freely.1 year, 4 months ago
A:Â
I'm not completely certain--but believe they are limit stops for the spring loaded gizmos that hold the spool in place. Prevents the gizmos from falling off.A:Â
I used them to hold the line while changing reel or spoolA:Â
I used these as "brakes" for the spool holders: install one on either side and apply pressure toward spool...

to hold the spool in place on the stainless steel holderA:Â
if you are talking about the two larger (longer ones) they hold the spool on. those are the only grommets that came with mine.A:Â
i belive they are used for bushings for line spools that are bigger than the plastic cone on the productA:Â
These are used to strap the strike indicators to the rods for use.A:Â
To hold the line on the rack????Answers
A:Â
Turn the line spool 90 degrees so it comes off the end instead fo the side. Worked for meA:Â
I use mine on a baitcaster rod and reel, but a spinner reel has a problem with the twisting if your line is somewhat old. It is hard to control the twisting on a spinner but it should be ok if you take care and put it in a position that will release as soon as the strike happens.A:Â
As i spooled my reel i had my daughter put friction on the line spool with her index finger and the line coming across to my reel i used my left index finger to put tension on the line to my reel to rid line of any slack and cranked the reel with my right. didn't have any line twist and my spools were nice and tight. I hope this helpsA:Â
You need to make sure that the line is coming off the spool over the top and don't spool too quickly.A:Â
All I use is spinning reels and I haven't experienced this problem. Some of the reels I use are saltwater reels and they are almost too large to fit the clamps. I made it work with a little added pressure and when I work the reel I crank it slow and steady. Make sure you have the reel firmly locked in the clamps.Hope this helps.
A:Â
on spinning reels, I take the off the spool of line from the box, and I tighten it up as I am loading the maching, adding torgue ti it fits snug on the spool, then I take the spool and put it some very hot water for about 5 - 10 minutes, to help with the line memory it as from box. Also make sure you are spooling it in thre reel the line should go the same directions as the bail turns, bail turns left as spinning ,line should untangle to the left. too much line on reel can cause it to flow off easyA:Â
Tighten up the tension on the spool holder so that it turns slower. That is what I had to do for spinner reels.A:Â
I used this on my spinning reel today, i just made sure the tension on the spool was pretty tight and had no issues at all.A:Â
With a spinning reel put the reel on a rod and the spool on the unit keep tour finger on the line for tension. This will soilve your problemA:Â
Keep the spool of line snug in it's holderA:Â
You are probably mounting your new spool of line so that the line comes off the spool over the top. Try mounting the new spool updise down so that the line comes off the bottom instead. Not all new spools of line are wound the same, so this may solve your problem with that particular spool of line.Answers
A:Â
I find it easier to do so, but if you set it up so it doesn't slide, I can't see why you couldn't doit on the rod.I haven't tried that but will to check it out.
A:Â
YES. The reel mounts directly on the spooling station.A:Â
YesA:Â
The spooler was designed in a manner that you will need to remove your reel from your rod. You could probably use the spooler without having to do that by setting it on the floor and just utilizing the spool holder section, but it wouldn't do as nice of a job.A:Â
Yes the line spooler mounts your reel directly onto the tool so you can feed the line directly to the reel.A:Â
No. Not a requiremnt. But is less combersome if the reel is remomved from the rod.A:Â
After more thought on this you probably don't have too. However the base is fairly light. But I can see you running the line down the eyes of your rod to your reel and spool it that way. Just secure the base so it doesn't move while you are winding the line onto your reel.A:Â
Yes you do. You have to seat the reel in a similar fashion to how it attaches to your rod.A:Â
Yes you doAnswers
A:Â
Spool holders are designed for the smaller spools, the larger spools having holes too big for the spool holders. A work-around is to put the large spool in a small cardboard box with some crumpled paper to create enough resistance. Put the box in front of the spooler and run the line down the center roller. Should work fine.

A:Â
yes it has movable guidesA:Â
I think it depends on which test line you are using. I was able to use a 1000 yard spool of 6lbs test Stren no problem and it should fit a 2000 yard of 6lbs easily.A:Â
If the spool will fit onto the axel and the clamp will hold the reel then it will spool it.A:Â
AS long as the line has a hole in the middle of the box, and can fit on the post and your reel as the capacity to hold it, it would work. you hyst crank til its full or your happy with it.A:Â
im spooling a 1500yd line now with no issuesA:Â
Yes! This product will work with open face reels. You just have to turn the reel upside down on reel seat. However I don't know about any line twist this may develope.A:Â
No. I buy the spools of 5800 yards. The spool holder is to smallA:Â
I believe you will have some difficulty using a spool this large. I would suggest using spools under 1000 yards.A:Â
Yes it can accomodate large spools. The length of the spool can be up to 7" I'd say .A:Â
I would have to say yes it will. The base is pretty light. I think you may run into some difficulties where the line spool is held in place. I doubt it holds the really large spools of line. I believe I used the 1700 yard spool and that was fine.Q:Â

Will this strip the line off back onto the line spool? How does the line stripper work?
Answers
A:Â
No, and that was one of my issues with it. It uses a standard battery operated stripper that is actually a separate unit that store in the base.
A:Â
No, it will not return the line to the spool. If that's what you want to do then allow me to suggest that you mount the spool on a dowel rod and use a drill to replace your line on the spool. What I have done was to place a rubber band on the dowel rod then slide the spool on the dowel rod. Then on the other side of the dowel I wrapped another rubber band making sure it was up against the spool as tightly as I could get it. Then using a varible speed drill I slowly filled the spool. It's primitive but cheap and highly effective.A:Â
the stripper is a little tricky, it has two holes on it, enter and exit. You place the line thru the holes, whick slide beteen to rotatomg wheels that pinch it together, adn pull through, but you have to grab and pull the line out the other side and keep up.or the line could get sucked back into the machine and keep winding up. You thenwould just have to open it up , pull i though, anddo it again.. loosen drags and bracks, and grab pencil and drill for easier useA:Â
No! This will not spool old line to a spool. The stripper works like a die grinder. There is a hole on the end that you put the end of line throughand the line is stripped off the reel. I fed mine straight into a baggie for disposal.
A:Â
The line striper simply removes the line from your reels.A:Â
No. It does not strip from the reel to the spool for old line. Only from a new spool to the reel. The line sttripper removes line from the reel. Recommend use a trash can to collect line into.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
No it wont put line back on the spool. The striper is used to take old line off the reel. You put the end of the line in one end and it takes it off. Its real simmple because there is an arrow showing withch end go's were.A:Â
The line stripper works by 2 rubber bumpers that basically grab the line and run the line off the reel. However the bumpers had a gap on mine and have a tough time constantly grabbing the line. Basically it kept slipping. Once I got it running line off and holding the line at the right angle it did a decent job. It will only remove the line from the reel.A:Â
The line stripper has two rounded rubber cylinders - you feed the line through, then press the butto. The motor turns the cylinders and quickly pulls line off the spool.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
No, the line stripper strips the old line off of your reel and onto the floor into a mess of curly memory full line. But if you did put an empty spool on the spool holder and your reel with old line on it in the seat then you could spool it back onto the spool by hand but it would take hours.Answers
A:Â
no line counter, that would be nice.A:Â
No! There is no line counter on this model.
A:Â
There is no line counter on this spooler. That would have been a fantastic feature though! I may have to buy one of the smaller line counters and somehow mount it to the spooler. Thanks for the idea!A:Â
No Sir there is not a line counter on thei piece of equipment.A:Â

I have shimano 10000 bait runners, does this product work ok with these type of reelsAnswers
A:Â
It works with bait casters and spinning reels.A:Â
I don't know why it wouldn't. All I can say is buy it, try it and if it doesn't then give it to a family member or friend. It makes the perfect gift for any fisherman.A:Â
yes it works with almost any reel, I have use micro lite spinning reels, I used closed faced spincasters, and on low profile and round baitcaiters, without a problem...its all about tightening the line down on the pools, with spring screws to you your desired tightness. Tie it off to reel, and slowly reel inand let it take its shape and keep pressure on it and reel it i.A:Â
Yes. I just spooled and open face on it two weeks ago.A:Â
yes it works fine with spinning reelsA:Â
I have used this tool on all reels. Spinning reels require a little more patience but get the job done w/o an assistance.A:Â
Yes. Works with all three types of reels.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
If you can tie knots well it will work on any reel. Alls you do is run line threw propper places, tie knot, set tension and crank away .A:Â
I couldn't find this reel at shimano. I can say however I have spool a shimano spinning reel and also baitcasters on this with no problems.A:Â
YES. I HAVE SPOOLED BAITCASTERS AND SPINNING REELS WITH THIS.1 of 1
