PENN Fishing HD Line Winder Fishing Line Spooler, Black

This one is a keeper. Nice and heavy with a really well working tension system which is really important for getting a tight wind with braid. As with anything trying to spool fluorocarbon can be a maddening experience with its tendency to jump off the spool. I found it if you pull out enough to get secured to your reel, and then put the little white piece of tape that holds the line on the spool to hold it down until you can get tension on it you can control it much better.

Very heavy but works well.

I purchased this Penn line spooler to spool a 50w reel. I setup the Penn line spooler according to the instructions, installed a 1500 yard spool of 80lb braid line, tensioned the braid using a drag scale to get the correct tension on the 50w reel and was met with a jumpy drag mechanism. The drag would be tight, then loosen, then tighten repeatedly, which caused the line to have uneven tension. The other problem is that the drag washers wear astronomically quickly, leaving your bench with black carbon dust.

Muy buen producto, quede satosfecho con el, entregado en tiempo y forma.

This is a great product. It is well made and heavy so it does not move around. I currently have a 7,200ft spool on it but this will work with a 300ft spool just the same. The tension nut and drag washers work perfect to put as much or as little tension on the spool as you want. Plus it just simply looks cool sitting on my fishing bench. It's not the cheapest one but it is the best one.
