    Works much better than a bucket of water.

    Drilled a couple holes in the front plate and mounted it to a board with a makeshift reel seat on the other end. Works great, but only time will tell as to how it holds up. ***Don’t beat me up on the fabrication. I’ll make a better one in the future, but not bad for scraps and about 15 minutes in the garage.

    Fixed the loosening problem

    There is an issue reported from many users of this product. What happens is the spool cones don’t spin with the line spool and the tension constantly loosens making for a frustrating effort to keep retightening the spooler. I solved the problem with the addition of a small 5/16 flat washer. First thing is to throw away the carbon drag washers they just prevent the proper operation. Now slide one cone onto the side with the spring then slide the line to be used on the cone, next slide the second cone toward the spool. After the second cone put on the 5/16 flat washer then the Penn black steel washer then the Penn plastic washer and finally the threaded locking knob. What happens now is the cones will spin with the line spool no matter how tight the tension is and the preset tension remains constant without loosening.

    Do not purchase!

    Do not recommend is a POS . After buying the penn line winder to spool up the new reels for my boat I cannot get any more than 6lbs of drag(They say it can apply up to 10 lbs) pressure without the spool spinning and the cones not moving the drag washes don’t work not very impressed with the quality as I now have to go and buy a different line winder to make sure my reels are spooled properly. would work fine with a Small spinning reel but not usable on any conventional real(Customer support said it would work great with conventionals) I have tried with multiple different schools of line from different brands and the same issue with each.

    I like it!

    Better than the alternatives and still pretty decent. Out of the box has a few issues. Can't tighten the screws holding the vertical arms very tight or they won't move. Smaller spools just rotate on the drag cone. You can fix the drag cone issue buy using any soft grippy material to cut a washer to insert between the spool and the drag cone. I used some non-slip kitchen drawer mat. Problem solved. The vertical bolts. I'm goin to see what I can source for washer or just use some blue loctite on them. Pleased with the purchase as everything else in this price range isn't as good as this.

    Just what I needed

    For the money it's a great line winder. I wish it had some kind of clamp mechanism to clamp to a work bench so I took a star from it. I still would buy it again though
