Everything the Angler Needs To Spool Reels The new Berkley Line Spooling Kit is all that is needed to keep fresh line on fishing reels. The days of chasing reel spools across the floor or holding the spool with a pencil are over.
The cordura zippered Line Spooling Kit bag holds up to six filler spools of fishing line, or two quarter pound spools in their place, during storage and while in use. The front flap unfolds with built in metal grommets to feed line through. The spool revolves inside the bag and because there is no axle for the spool to ride on, line tangles are eliminated.
Clear pockets are built in for easy line identification. Just slip in a tab with the appropriate line size. The bag’s shoulder strap provides easy carrying and the small size allows for convenient storage.
Each Line Spooling Kit comes with a Berkley LS-2 Line Stripper (batteries not included), a line cutter that works on all types of line including superlines and knot tying information. There’s even a recycle pocket in the lid.
The Berkley Line Stripper makes the chores of changing line on reels much quicker and easier. The Berkley Line Stripper makes fast work of an otherwise tedious job: line stripping of a single reel or multiple reels at the same time, in about 60 seconds. The Line Stripper is also compact, weighing only four ounces and measuring 5" long. Two AA batteries supply the power.

Keeps Line Spools In Place And Under Control With the new Dog Bone Line Spooler from Berkley anglers can re-spool line onto their reel with ease. The patent-pending Dog Bone Line Spooler eliminates the need for a cardboard box, kitchen drawer or fishing partner holding the spool onto a pencil. Gone are the days of chasing a spool as it rolls across the floor tangling with table legs and kittens.
The bone-white ABS line spooler is compact and built of just three pieces. The two plastic ends separate with a simple twist for holding line spools. The tension spring keeps the spool from spinning too quickly.
To operate, simply string line through the rod guides from the tip to the reel and secure the line to the reel spool. Place the spool of line onto the winder and use the curved t-shaped ends to comfortably and securely hold the spool between the feet or legs. Carefully wind up any slack line onto the reel and start cranking. The Dog Bone Line Spooler works with any reel including spincast, spinning, baitcasting and fly.
The lightweight Berkley Dog Bone Line Spooler holds up to 1/4-pound spools of line and is easily stowed in the tackle box.
