Nice find Mike.
Lee, did you take details? You need to make some.
Now I need to have one...not that it makes sense to me, but still need to have one .

I think I have a couple somewhere ,they are yours if you want them Sal. Don't know if I have a drilled cross bar though.

[Keta]

Can I borrow one to see if I can make them?

Sal,
Maybe you need one of these, too. I'll build you one for $100.    No, not the garage, the line winder.

Irish Jigger,

Thank you for the explanation as to what it is, nice little item to find.

Mike.

Way to go Rob, great idea on the tension spring on that spool.

Now that's unusual Lee.  Thanks for the explaination Irish.  I still don't understand though.

Way to go Rob, great idea on the tension spring on that spool.

The spring only puts minimal tension on the spool. If I want line on tight, as in spectra, I use a nylon washer sandwiched between a fender washer and no spring on each side of the line spool. (Dominick's idea I think. ) Both the spring and washer methods need a locknut to keep the single nut from loosening or tightening.

The second set of hose clamps is for a second reel to transfer line from one reel to another.

Rob, I was talking about the line guide. X

[Norcal Pescador]

Yes I know. I was referring to Sal's comment on my line winder. 

[Bryan Young]

See, no wonder I'm confused?  There's too many tangents and my mind cannot follow them.

Don't sweat it Bryan - you're not alone

Count me in, Justin.

Bryan, it comes with the territory - a vocation, family, avocation, fishing, house, hobby, trying to follow all of the posts, etc. . .     The top priority: Happy Wife, Happy Life 

Cheers!

This is really cool. Both the cast control and the line winder. Rob do you fit the reel handle up with a power drill to wind the line on?

Nope. Just an armstrong rotor system.   It gives me more control.
