Berkley Fishing Line Spooler BLMLS3

Overview

A clamp-on spooling stand from Berkley that feeds monofilament from a filler spool onto a reel while keeping tension even. It weighs about 0.2 pounds and is rated to handle line up to 80 pound test, and the same unit doubles as a line stripper for pulling old line off a spool.

Line spoolers exist to solve one problem: line that goes on twisted because the filler spool and reel spun at different rates. This one is built specifically for mono rather than braid, so anglers running mostly braided line should look elsewhere. There is no note in the listing about reel size compatibility, so check your reel's spool capacity before assuming a fit.

• Clamps to a table edge for stable spooling
• Rated for line up to 80 pound test
• Doubles as a line stripper
• Compact 0.2 pound build

Who it's for

Anglers who respool their own reels at home rather than paying a tackle shop, especially those who go through mono often enough that a dedicated stand pays for itself. It also suits anyone who wants an easy way to strip old, memory-coiled line off a reel before a re-spool.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The unit clamps to a table edge and holds the filler spool on a free-spinning post so line feeds off under light, even tension as you wind the reel by hand. Reversing the setup lets it work as a stripper, pulling old line back off a reel spool for disposal or re-tensioning.
