LOL. Thanx for them Magcolor.

Thanx John. I now feel like I served my fellow countrymen!! You know the old saying "you can feed a man a fish and feed him for a day or you can teach him how to respool his reel and he can catch fish his whole freakin life!!"

Hey Diminic. Yeah it works. Ice broke here last week. Can't wait! Happy fishing. Thanx for the feedback. best . . . . paul

Hey Brian. Glad to be of some help. Spawn season is right around the corner!! best . . . paul

Thanx Trae.

Hey 11. Work doesn't sound like a good thing. Fishing is!! best . . . paul

Hey DeeDee. Ur welcome. I agree. They used to do it for free, just to get you to buy in their store, which was okay. best . . . paul

Hey Trent. It may not be as nice as the $400 commercial version but it works just fine and saves time and spooling fees. happy fishing . . . paul

PS. On the side walls I glued, predrilled and ran 2 1/2 inch wood screws up from the base. I would predrill becasue plywood has the tendency to split when being screwed.

Hey Matt. I smell a fish fry!! You're welcome thanx for watching and commenting. best . . . paul

Thanx Bob. Glad to help with the lunkers!! best . . .paul

Hey Han. At the prices we pay for hooks and lures they should be giving spooling services for free with line purchases. Right? best . . . paul

@@paulsDIYsolutions I am with you Paul; it's just a business decision that none too wiser. Look at it this way; how much profit can you make from the operation? The customers come in the store, get a bunch of reels and lines, just spool them up free of charge, guess what they do next time when they want more reels and lines? They come back to your store, otherwise they thinking why the heck i am get charged for this, I'll go somewhere else then...

I'd be curious as to how much profit they make from rods, reels, lures and accessories.

Hey Ny Fish. Saves a lot on $ too!!

Hey Ross. Yeah it helps organize along with saving a bunch on re-spooling. best . . . paul

Hey Scott. Your welcome. Thanx for the feedback. Now get the trophy fish!! best . . .paul

Good suggestion. Thanx David.

Would you share those sentimnets with my wife. Seems like she has a different opinion!! LOL Thanx. best . . . paul

Helps keep bucks in the pocket and fish in the freezer. Happy fishing. best . . . paul

Hey Daniel. Don't know how I would get you those. Perhaps you can stop the video and jot them down. They're not that complicated. Best paul.

Hey Chris. It seemed to work fine the first year or two but failed dismally over time. I really don't bother with it anymore. Line thickness and line poundage are different for virtually each line manufacturer so eyeballing might be the best way. best . . . paul

Thanx Steven. Glad to be of some help. best . . . paul

Thanx Dennis. Always an exciting time of the year for us!! best . . . paul

Hey Buzzard. Winding from a flat (horizontal) plane is one way but it's really more important that you match the wind on and off the spool with the wind on and off the reel. This minimizes lines twists and tangles. Fishing retail stores wind from a upright (vertical) plane all the time. Line has memory and after sitting on the shelf for a while it remembers the direction of the curl caused by the winding direction. When you wind the line onto your reel it should match the same curl direction that it became used to. Here's the secret: If your spool was winded in a clockwise direction the line should match and go on the reel in a clockwise direction. When tipping a spool from horizontal to vertical, if the line comes off the bottom of the spool its clockwise. Conversely from the top is counter clockwise. Simply compare the direction of your reel wind with the direction of the spool wind and wah laa. It's really the same as laying the spool flat just faster and more efficient. All the fishing gear supply stores wind from a vertical spooler. Don't know about the bearings. I winding is winding and whether you do it by hand or mechanically it's pretty much the same stress. I think? best . . . paul

Hey Rad. Yeah. Young and stupid!! best . . . paul

Hey Coy. Yeah ur 100% correct. I have made a few modifications since my original design. best . . . paul

You're lucky Derek. Doesn't happen around here! besrt . . . paul

Simply compare the direction of your reel wind with the direction of the spool wind and wah laa. It's really the same as laying the spool flat just faster and more efficient. Other advantages I've found. The spooler design keeps a constant tension assuring that the line is not loose or on the flip side too tight, hence overstretched, both conditions lead to tangles and twists. The despooler is a really quick way of unwinding old line while keeping it tight for extremely neat for easy disposal. This system neatly organizes and stores a bunch of spools. Plus if you add the counter you can determine the amount of line your spooling. Hope that was understandable. best . . . paul

Hey Big Red. Eyelets are optional. I usr them on spools that are wobbly. I often don't need to run the line through them. Lining up is at times difficult it depends on the size and number of spools on the axle rod. Not sure if I answered your question. Happy fishing. best . . . paul

Thanks for reply... yes you did answer my question. I have some old vintage Zebco 33’s and vintage Mitchell 300 reels that need to be cleaned, serviced and re-spooled. BTW.. I liked you garage panel saw build. Besides fishing I enjoy woodworking... but I make more sawdust than actually build things🤣

Thank you for helping me.

My pleasure Steve. Now let's go fishing!!

Hey Natural. Most bait and tackle stores have them. I got mine at Bass Pro Shop. I'm sure they have them online. best . . . paul

Another idea catfish, thanx. best . . . paul

Hey dd. Different reels have different crank handle inserts. Some are screws, some are square and some hexagonal. I have all three on different reels. On the one's that screw I went to the big box store and purchased the right sized and threaded screw. I cut the head off and insert it into the drill. On hexagonal I used the right sized allen wrench and cut off the bend. On square I took a screw to my grinder and squared it. Little bit of work initially but they inserts last forever and typically work on any future reels. best . . . paul

Hey Charlie. Good catches and suggestions. I actually drilled another set of holes for and smaller diameter dowel rod to accommodate the smaller spools. Nice kayak BTW, I have an Ocean Torque. best . . . paul

Thanks Paul! I was curious about your axle dowel rods. Are they fastened in the holes in any way or is the tension from the springs holding it in place? I assume that way you can remove the rod and replace the spools and springs as needed to keep the tension on the spools on the rod. Thanks again!

Hey Charlie. Yep just loose so you can change spools. Springs can be purchased at Home Depot.

Sorry Billy. 10 reels at $15 is $150. best . . . paul

hey BA. No. Mono has memory, so just make sure the direction of the line is the same as the direction of your feed. best . . . paul

paulsDIYsolutions Thanks! I have a station similar to yours but I only use it for baitcasters because of supposed line twist. I will try it out for my spinners now, thanks!

Hi Sabuj. I am sorry but I'm not quite sure what you are asking. A fishing reel can be anywhere from $10-500. A spool of line is typically around $7-15 depending on type and length. Hope this helps. best . . . paul

thank you sir! I want to hear reel price fish weight as 10-20 kg

Sorry Sabuj. I am not comprehending your question.

reel 40m price

Hi Ryder. Thanx for being my first subscriber.

@@paulsDIYsolutions How old is your grandson? I assume he likes to go fishing with his grandpa.

@@KStewart-th4sk I have 3 grandson's and and granddaughter. Funny but that grandson is not the fisherman. The other two boys are.

Hey Catfish. I assume you are talking about the drill gears. I have been using the same one for a dozen years without any issue. best . . . paul

@@paulsDIYsolutions Cool.. I had problem with my older CHEAP CRAFTSMAN DRILL getting hot to the touch when I used it to do a few thousand yards on my deep sea reels but maybe because I was doing like a few miles of line on a few rigs almost nonstop, Maybe I was just trying to do it to fast...lol

Hi Farin. Yeah, probably should make that video. best . . . paul

for example, you show, and measure how many cm, and how to put it like that, which, we just know very well, you guys write like that some of them understand, most don't really understand, just look at the ready. and the size of the wood. Tq im sorry once again ,for question,i meams one day sir.

Couse im truly want to learn ,to make it,if you send this video some of them doesnt undstand it.sorry sir,

Sorry JKN. Times ten reels =$150 best . . . paul

@@paulsDIYsolutions My apologies. Nice design of the system

Per reel exactly but times that times 10 reels and we're at $150. best . . . paul

@@paulsDIYsolutions my bad I missed the 10 reels part

Mark Connolly he had 10 reels. $15 times 10 reels is $150.

Thanx Mike. Mark is not the first one to do that miscalculation. It's like one of those TRICK math questions. LOL. best . . . paul

Hey Bill. Yeah I know i get a few comments on this. I talk kinda fast. Most tackle shops charge 10 cents a yard for for line spooling. The average reel takes approximately 150 yards. That's $15 per reel. I have 10 reels. 10X$15=$150.00. I change my line every season so having my own spooler saves a ton! Hope that helps. best . . . paul

10 reels x 150 yards each x .10 per yard = $150
