elmoputney Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 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 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commonly Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Loading the reel is the easy bit. It takes 10 times longer, getting the old stuff off. jules007 and Higham1987 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.anglers-nlrs.co.uk/ 7 hours ago, elmoputney said: You got a drill? https://www.carpspirit.com/product/d-spool-stripper/0 p} Makes life so much easier 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 jules007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. jules007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
