Spooling stations

Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:16 am

Hi all,don`t waste money buying expensive spooling stations.Simply take an old ice-cream tub,make a hole in both ends,about 1 inch(2.5cm) below the rim,thread a skewer into the first hole,put your spool of line onto it ,pass the skewer through the second hole,you`re almost ready.Now fill the tub with water (just below the hole)and you`re ready to reel.Hope you all find this helpful!

I have a spooling station and I wouldn't be without it. Not only can I fill me reels under constant tension, but I can strip old line off them in record time as well as sharpening my hooks. hope this helps. keith
