Diy line remover?

[SevenYearsDown]

I have 5 reels with about 600yds of braid that I want to transfer. Does anyone have a guide on how to make a simple jig yo connect yo a drill so I can strip the line fast? There used to be the Swifty line remover but I don't think it's sold anymore or anything similar.

I use an old empty spool with a piece of threaded rod in a hand drill to remove the line. To put in on the reel clamp it in a vise or have somebody hold both ends of the threaded rod. The swift line remover gets the line off but then you have to seperate the two cones & trash the line. It's available on ebay.       Rudy

I do the same, but use a drill bit with tape on it sos the spool fits tight.

I use a empty spool if i am to trash the line .
 But if i am going to flip the line end for end , than i use my reel to reel .  
 I can also remove two dowels on the reel to remove the line if need be .
 One turn equals  one yard , so i can measure also.

The Berkley line remover is available on Amazon. I use a similar (cheaper) version off of fleabay.

I did the most basic idea, went to home depot and got some washers and wing nuts and a threaded rod. Stripped it pretty fast.

Same here, cordless drill with threaded rod. I have used a pipe that I fitted a reel seat to and clamp in my vice and zing it off in no time. Fitted to the pipe is another holder with centering bushes that I can clamp a line spool to to fill up the reel.  It has a line meter also. When I get a new reel and I am going to do a mono top shot with braid backing I usually spool it 1st with 200m mono of the breaking strain I will always use then to the max with braid and reverse it over twice on empty spools so the mono ends on top! Bit of a process but then using a 600m spool of mono I get 3x fills out of it. So if the mono gets rough I just strip it off and fill up. This way there are no knots in the mono and my reel is always full, plus it is economical.

For a line counter I used one of these (in a modified form)

I built one into my line spooler:

It is surprisingly accurate! I'm not even convinced it needs to be particularly accurate

Joe, that looks very nice!

For a counter I use a plastic rim from kiddy bike.  It's mounted on the side of a bench.  With the tire removed the rim has a cupped area around the circumference.  49.5 inches per revolution and I count revolutions as it is turned with a knob.  Big enough and accurate enough for my needs.
