Joe, when you're on a quest, you don't mess around.
Quote from: Lunker Larry on May 20, 2024, 07:29:19 PMThis works for me. Bolt with old drag washers and lock washer gives me tension when putting line on and easily removed to put full spool on to respool.I like this ,Simple design . It looks like you have potential 3 drag systems for tensioning
Quote from: happyhooker on May 12, 2024, 06:44:24 PMWhen an item is described as having a part that will never fail, that, to me, is the equivalent of a lifetime "forever" warranty. If the manufacturer doesn't want to stock replacement parts that they have guaranteed for life, then they at least ought to offer you a new equivalent reel from models they do have.

Quote from: foakes on May 20, 2024, 04:21:11 PMI have 4 line metering machines. One very heavy duty Triangle for large Conventionals, a fairly heavy duty Triangle for Conventionals up to 9/0, and two smaller Berkley's for just spinning reels.I like the cast iron line winder , some how Singer treadle machine comes to mind ..
But I never spool a spinning reel with a powered line winder —- always by hand, on a rod lower section, and with a little resistance based on experience and feel. Just takes a few minutes to do it right. Plus I change my line pretty often depending on usage. Generally every year or two. Cheapest assurance of success.
Here is an old cast iron line winder that I keep around for fun.
Alan hasn't chimed in —- but he has the ultimate set-up for Conventionals. None better.
Best, Fred
