I often enlist me GFs help with stripping old spools too, after doing about a dozen on her own, I think she's getting the technique down.

My Son loves to do it. I miss him when he visits Grandma.
I use to have a line stripper years ago. I need to get another one. it makes quick work of it.

A couple years ago I bought one of these through Melton. Goes on a empty soda/water bottle and then chucked up in your drill and away you go....

Been using a plastic Coke bottle cap with a set screw and nut attached, cheapskate

What's nice about this is that I made a box with an opening slit at the top. So when you have the line on the bottle you can reuse it on another reel. This helps with braid. Caution though. Don't put line on empty water/soda bottle to tight. It will crush it causing loops and tangles.

Not sure if that would hold 1100yds of 130 mono.  I was thinking of taking an empty spool and Dremel off one side lip, attach it to an aluminum shaft, which can ride in my spooling machine cradle, and powered by a drill. Just havn't had the time to get around to playing with it.  They no longer make my machine or parts for it, and I'm not quite sure how the line stripper attachments were made to work on it.  Does anyone else have a Tanaguchi Spooling machine that could shed sum light on the topic?  I'll get something worked out eventually. 

[BMITCH]

No, it's not gonna hold 1000+ yds of 130 mono on a plastic water bottle, but it does work pretty well with the smaller reels. I'm sure, as Tom did, that there are ways around this with stuff you have at hand but I bought a couple for presents to my fishing buddies and kept one for myself. I only own 6/0's and on down so the bottles work OK for me.

I used a large empty spool.  The center core is solid and I superglued a fender washer to each side.  Then I used Lee's tennis balls trick to keep the spool tight and unspool my reel with 2 -3 lbs of drag onto the empty spool.  This allow me to wash the braid by immersing it in clean freshwater for a couple of days and then spool back onto the reel.  I am thinking of making a line stripper by cutting the side of one end of a large spool and using a 4" or larger fender washer with a nut on it.  Once the lines has come off, just unscrew the nut and remove the fender washer and the pull the lines off the spool into the trashcan.

Amazon reviews "Useless piece of Chinese Junk,poor battery performance....."

[Shark Hunter]

I thought 4 D Batteries was a little much. The one I had years ago was much smaller and really zipped the line off a reel.

[maxpowers]

I think you are referring the the berkeley line stripper?

[Shark Hunter]

The 29-155 spool fits the 150.

I picked up a plastic replacement spool for $10. It has the 29-155 part number right on it. But its too wide for my 150. Why do spools have the same part number that are different?

[Alto Mare]

When you purchased that reel it had the wrong spool on it. The 29-155 will work with the 200, but does not fit the 150. You will need a 29-150.
