This spooler has significantly improved my fishing line spooling experience. The slim design is a standout feature, making it easy to store without taking up much space in my garage. Setting it up was a breeze, accommodating both normal and XL spool sizes effortlessly. I particularly appreciate the springs and finger-tighten stops, which allow for precise tension adjustments. This has made the spooling process much smoother compared to my old, janky setup. However, there are a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. The way the hook attaches to the base is not ideal; there's a screw that digs into my countertop, which is quite frustrating. To mitigate this, I had to place a scrap of wood over the screw to protect the surface. It’s disappointing that the product images do not highlight this issue, as they can be somewhat misleading. Despite these minor inconveniences, the item performs well. The adjustable rotating axis and rotating spiral mechanism work together to ensure smooth and even winding, which helps prevent tangling and line damage. Read more
