I get empty bulk spectra spools from Jerry Brown and I wind old line on them until they are full.


Yep, i feel with different options and ways from all of us
we all learn all the time, and great for the novice.

Fishing is just that fishing, catching fish.

Some of my spools are over full and sitting in my garage,
but at least the birds are safe, great for filling a big spool
to cut down an wasted line that will never be used.

The easiest and fastest way to take line off that will be discarded is the 2 funnel method. You can strip a 6/0 in a few seconds, unscrew the end nut, slide one funnel off, and dump the line in the recycle bin.

You can now but them online instead of making them.

Please, please, please, run a knife through the coils before binning it, that way the 100mm lengths will pass through any bird or animal that may ingest it for the next 10,000 years


Once my container is full the old line is taken to the tackle store up the street and it is recycled.

I wish we had a place here to recycle it, I hate putting resources into a landfill.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Hi Lee, good idea, that's good thinking. Pity indeed buddy.

If only every angler thought the same, also why can't some anglers
take there rubbish home with them or put it in the bin which lets
face it is near enough were one is fishing, or just take it home,
not as if one is camping for the week.
