Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

Get a small enough diameter bolt that will go through your spool.
Make sure it's plenty long.
Now get 2 nylon washers for that bolt and a wing nut for the bolt.
Put a washer onto the bolt, then your spool, the other washer then the wing nut.
Finger tighten it so the spool will not spin on the bolt.
Put the remaining length of bolt into your drill.
You could put a pencil through the feeder spool and use your finger to apply pressure.
Hit the drill trigger and fill your spool with no twist.
Takes up a lot less room, and assuming everyone already has a drill, a lot cheaper too.

I have one. It works decently well and I have no complaints. I’m intrigued by the drill idea though!!

If you want to check it out let me know.

I bet if you put a hook on that line spooler thing, you could catch lingcod with it. Can't do that with a drill! On second thought, maybe you can...

My wife holds the line on a dowel with cardboard as a tension pad, she reads her digital books while I spool the reel.
