Yeah that's a cracking tip.

Only thing that puts me off is you are putting all your line through a metal hole and I would worry about it damaging the line, would probably be OK but I don't want to chance it 😳

Loading the reel is the easy bit.

It takes 10 times longer, getting the old stuff off.

Just tried to explain to Mrs B B why I’m checking out the hole on the lid of our saucepan ….she said I’m just being stupid now 😏

Taking it off by hand is therapeutic.

Old line spool and put it on that, and easy to return to Tackle shops in Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme.

I tried using a drill, and various ways and things to wind it onto, and with the stop start and constant having to untangle or untwist it went back to by hand

Nope it's a chore.

 

And this makes it much easier, then I just drill it off, take off the top of it, slide it off and put it in a bag and take it to the tackle shop, you just can't set your drill on turbo mode and it doesn't tangle.

Seriously I find taking line off relaxing, I can slow down and actually watch something on television, usually natural history or a documentary, or even Whitehouse and Mortimer.

I must admit I do try to put the job off for as long as possible but partly because I know that I've got 300metres on each spool...

With my health problems maybe I have learnt to enjoy everything that I can do.
