Quote from: Midway Tommy on May 20, 2024, 03:30:00 PMSince I don't use conventional reels I'm the line winding machine and my line holder is my own homemade design. It holds three sizes of spools, bulk, medium and the smaller ones. I generally have a bulk spool of mono and a spool of dacron on it at the same time so I don't have to switch things around. Since I only fish fresh water I never install more than 120 or 125 yards of top mono.I like the simple approach to hand winding . I have one more in the works ,that I need to finish for spinners . A revolving yoke design .
The copper sleeves and washers give the spools a smooth surface to ride on and spin against. The springs set the tension I feel is appropriate. I pinched the wing nuts so they won't turn under pressure, but one of these days I'll replace them with nylon wing nuts.
Drag really has no relevance in spinning reel line installation other than making sure the line isn't too loose or too tight and stretched. I set mine by feel and experience.
I mount the reel on the reel seat section of an old SB fiberglass rod with a plastic reel seat & rings. The line only goes through one guide thats right next to the ferrule.

A bicycle rim might be useful for the larger wheel. I hear they already make brakes for those... And they're adjustable.I like the way think , if I found a smaller wheel I may have used it .
Quote from: quang tran on May 20, 2024, 10:48:42 AMHa the dreaded hour glass effect , even when you machine line fill , the hour glass start to appear after a few line cycles . Different line dia will change that .Quote from: oldmanjoe on May 20, 2024, 04:43:24 AMTo be honest , I will not machine wind spinner spools. I much prefer to wind on the reel it self , I want the line lay and know right away if the shimming is correct .I do shim to get better spooling but unless you use old Mitchell reel that line spooling perfect , most spinner will get as picture when wind on reel itself ,few reels use oscillating gear similar to bait casting reel then line lay out good ( such as Daiwa SS1300,1600,2600 )
Quote from: oc1 on May 20, 2024, 05:46:44 AMIf you load a spinner on a mandrel the line will not be twisted. But, twists are imparted as line leaves the spool on a cast (one 360 degree twist per spool circumference). When the line is retrieved, the twists are removed.I only use drill to wind up line on spinner ,Bait casting reel line lay out good .You're right spinner always get line twist .before braid line come out I only use spinner for light line 8 lbs and under but with braid it's less problem ,I load 30 lbs test braid on Dam 220, 2001 and have no problem with line twist .On conventional reel braid help cast further but not much ,using less than 20 lbs test create more problem
If you wind a spinner using the whole reel (rotor turning), then the line is twisted as it is loaded onto the reel. But, the twists are removed as the line leaves the spool on a cast.
Pick your poison..... or, get a conventional.
Before braid line come out I only use spinner for 8 lbs test and under and you're right spinner
Twists are neither imparted nor removed when drag is pulled but twists are imparted when that line is retrieved. Twists are imparted when cranking against a slipping drag. On a spinner with a 4:1 gear ratio there will be four 360 degree twists for every turn of the handle against a slipping drag. So, the total number of twists accumulate/increase when there is a lot of back-and-forth in a fight.
