Questions about Berkley Portable Fishing Line Spooling Station, Casting and Spinning Reels Equipment Black, All

Does it have a counter?

Answer: no. I added a counter to my pole when filling reel, but I didn't need it. eventually I realized I could mentally count how many turns of the reel handle were necessary to put on a specific yardage of line. for example, if I wanted to add 150 yards of line, and my reel added 30" per turn, I multiplied 150 x 6/5 to get 180 turns... be aware the spooling station is limited to smaller spools of line. I don't remember the exact limit of the width of spool.

Answer: No. Gotta do it the old fashioned way—estimation and best guessing

Answer: No it does not

Answer: no

Answer: It does not

Does this one have the Line Stripper and cutter?

Answer: No stripper, but it does have a cutter attached.

Answer: Cutter yes

Does this have a suction to hold onto table

Answer: It does have rubber feet, but not suction cups

Does the unit come with the quick line remover?

Answer: It does not.

Answer: Not that I know of

Answer: Yes it does. Just add batteries and it's ready to go. Only thin I found with the line remover is that you have to be careful that the line doesn't backlash. It makes a mess.

Answer: No it does not. Use a cordless drill for quick line removal

It says it works on most baitcast reels. So which ones would it not work on? Will it work for left hand retrieve?

Answer: yes it works on left hand retrieve. That's what I have and it works great. it should work on left or right.

Answer: It works with either side, the reels only matter if the mounting bracket on the reel is too long like in some sea reels.

Answer: This thing works on left or right

Will this work on fly reels?

Answer: It should work on any reel

Answer: Yes

Will it hold a 3in. 3/4 spool?

Answer: yes it will

What is the difference between this spooler and the Berkley spooler for arpund $100?

Answer: Never saw one for 100 dollars

Is there one with an electric motor ?

Answer: Not sure

When putting line on an open face reel should the line come off the spool from the top or bottom? I assume it comes off the top for a baitcaster.

Answer: I always go off the top. when you reel the baitcaster, notice that the top of the spool rotates toward you. coming off the top of the new line's spool, the line will keep the same curve that it had on its original spool.

Answer: However the line comes off the reel your spooling is how the line should be mounted in the spooling station. This prevents coiling and backlash

Answer: It should come off the side of the spool and in the same direction it will lie on the reel.

Answer: Top

is the battery holder sold seperate

Answer: There is no battery used with the line spoiler.

My spool is almost 4 inches. Will this support my spool? Thanks.

Answer: Yes, the spool guide is long enough to hold a 4" size coils!

Does this work for spincast reels?

Answer: Yes it does. Bait casters sit in the seat just like a rod. Spincast reels will fit upside down and wind in reverse, but it works very well.

Answer: Yeah it should work for a spincast reel

Answer: Yes for spiniest, spinning and bait caster

Answer: Yes it does

Answer: Yes and baitcasters

Does the unit come with the quick line remover?

Answer: It does not.

Answer: Not that I know of

Answer: Yes it does. Just add batteries and it's ready to go. Only thin I found with the line remover is that you have to be careful that the line doesn't backlash. It makes a mess.

Answer: No it does not. Use a cordless drill for quick line removal

Does it work with different Brands of line

Answer: As long as it's on a spool, it works.

Answer: Can’t tell you. It did work w different weights of Stren.

Answer: Yes works with any brand

Answer: Yes mono, braid,fluorocarbon

Answer: Yes,absolutely

Answer: Yes

do they make a cordless elec spooling station?

Answer: I don't think so for consumer.

Does this provide tension to the line when spooling?

Answer: Yes, it has tensioner guides that are spring-loaded to keep spool in place, these can be adjusted for more tension to spool your reel how ever you like! A great tool for the price!

Answer: Yes. The spool holder allows you to provide tension so that the line goes into the reel tightly.

Answer: Yes it does provide tension from both sides of the spool.

Answer: Yes,the spool holder is spring loaded, so you adjust the tension by how snug you clamp it down

Answer: A little but it does work well

Answer: Yes. It does a good job.

will this work for Lake Erie trolling reels?

Answer: This is the best way to reel line on any reel.

Would this be the same product at Academy for $19.00?

Answer: Very likely

Does it come with the line stripper?

Answer: The one I was sent did not have a line stripper. I have had 2 others, they did have one.

Will it accommodate a one pound spool of mono?

Answer: Absolutely, the bar sit high enough and holds very well! Thats what I buy at Bass pro,1 pound spools of 10/17/20/30/40/50 lb mono!

Answer: This will work with most casting and spinning reels

Answer: Yep

Answer: yes it should

Product reviews of Berkley Portable Fishing Line Spooling Station, Casting and Spinning Reels Equipment Black, All

Jose : It’s a maybe

The tighteners it came with were plastic and brittle and broke on the second use otherwise the item is pretty good

Paul Kremer : Works great

Works great

Amazon Customer : Fast delivery

My boy loves it, works Great

hombre243 : Line winder that does it right

Good little line winder at a realistic price. I have had the commercial types and this winder works just fine and costs about 1/10 the cost of the big fancy ones. Mostly what it does is keeps the line from twisting when you spool it on a reel. I recommend it.

W. Anderson : Works well.

I used this for both my spinning reels and bait casters. Both worked fine. I was just a little disappointed in seeing the cones for applying the tension were made of plastic. If I can find metal replacements for them I will definitely do that.

TC : Five Stars

Big Mac : Good product for the money

Got my line installed on my new reel with no problem.

travis hennecke : Easy to use great product

Great tool

greg allegrezza : Easy and efficient

Exactly what was needed to spool my reels for the upcoming season. Spooler keeps constant tension on line and reduces line twist after spooling. Portable, light, and simple to use highly recommend.

Amazon Customer : Ease of use

This works very well for putting line on your reels fast and easy.

Austin L : Decent Product

It spools up reels nice and tight. The only part is it feels very cheap for $30 but it hasn’t broken on me. The only issue I had is one of the the pieces to tighten down the line has not worked since I bought the thing. I use one of the o-rings that come with and it works fine.

Blackfoot : Awesome shipping time!

I have not used this one yet but I used my Brother-in-law's and really liked it. They wasted no time getting the product to me. Good job!

Jim Beaty : Five Stars

I use it every time to spool my reels.

S.C. : Four Stars

works well enough!

William H. : Five Stars

easy to use for sure!

Jim.tx : He loved it.

Purchased as a gift for my son-in-law. He loved it.

Sean Lonsinger : Broken product

Product came in packaging that was ripped opened and taped closed. Upon further inspection, the plastic hand nuts had been stripped from someone else trying to use pliers to tighten them. The plastic spring for the line holder was also broken off.

Russell P : Did not make it thru the first reel. Very ...

Did not make it thru the first reel. Very poorly made and natural stress points lack added strength. Opened the package. Followed instructions for set up. Mounted a reel and began to fill with line. Plastic mounting point for holding line spool broke below surface. Clean break. Un-mounted the reel. Tossed in trash.

Bradley S. : Get ready to make modifications for function

The screws to keep the spool in place don’t work and I had to make my own. Very cheaply made (hence the price) but the concept would be great if it worked as it should.

greg allegrezza : Easy and efficient

Exactly what was needed to spool my reels for the upcoming season. Spooler keeps constant tension on line and reduces line twist after spooling. Portable, light, and simple to use highly recommend.

P. Sutton : Broken on second spool

Got the item put it together very easy to put together and I thought hey what a great price cheaper by about 15.00 bucks cool!! Well not cool it ended up breaking on the second spool didn't even get to finish it!!!

n3v45 : Delivery was on time and packaged well. Just now ...

Delivery was on time and packaged well. Just now got to use this thing for the first time. For the price point worked well enough. Had to use washers on spoil of line to help it stay straight up and down tho. Kept wanting to roll on ya as you spoiled up your reel. Few little diy fixes and again it worked well enough. Would I buy this again no.

Tammy J Hamilton : I wish i had known!!!

I don't know how I have lived without this?! It is amazing! Easy to fill my reels.

Martha C. : Gift

Bought as gift & he loved

Grizz : Light, strong, portable.

My fishing buddy has one of these and all it took was one use for me to realize I HAD to have one. I fish enough that I change my line annually and this little beauty makes that a fun and easy chore. I already had the line stripper that fits into a little pocket on this machine for ease in carrying. It is extremely easy to set up and use without needing any tools, which is great for portability as is the light weight also. The amazing thing is that it is really strong and durable. Fantastic tool to use anywhere and I honestly don’t know why I did not buy one sooner. Now it is a must for me on every fishing trip in case of an emergency. Buy one, you won’t ever regret it.

Jose : It’s a maybe

The tighteners it came with were plastic and brittle and broke on the second use otherwise the item is pretty good

Eric R Schoenback : Saved me money and time putting my line on spool, 4 Rods.

Very pleased, I only use braided line. It has less memory and more forgiving if you make a mistake putting line on your spool.

Amazon Customer : great product

Once I got going did 14 reels in one afternoon

Grizz : Light, strong, portable.

dw1322 : Nice Spooler

Prompt and as promised.

Mentor22 : Best invention ever for the money!

It was easy to use and I really liked it! I put line on over 20 reels in no time!

Martha C. : Gift

Bought as gift & he loved

hombre243 : Line winder that does it right

Linda B. : Piece of trash

It is sad,
this was not my first Berkley Spooling Station. The others performed well. When a part broke, I called Berkley for a part. I was told they no longer carried replacement parts, I bought a whole new one, it was defective. So much for Berkley. I will never buy another Berkley item

jeffery carpenter : Not a bad product for the price

It was easy to use, but not all spools work properly some of the spools have a bigger hole and does not sit properly

travis hennecke : Easy to use great product

Great tool

Jim.tx : He loved it.

Purchased as a gift for my son-in-law. He loved it.

Hong Nguyen : Junk on Amazon.com

It's quality is very bad. It broke after using it 2 times.

Steven Crossland : Best spooler on the market!

Best spooling station on the market! My entire family love it! We own 2 of them!

Tadd R. Bennett : Super Convenient

Easy to use, like it expecially for braid because I can spool it a lot tighter

Guninstructor : Four Stars

a little flimsy, but it works.

Amazon CustomerTom : Five Stars

2nd one I've owned...they work great

Amazon Customer : Fast delivery

My boy loves it, works Great

n3v45 : Delivery was on time and packaged well. Just now ...

Hong Nguyen : Junk on Amazon.com

It's quality is very bad. It broke after using it 2 times.

Amazon Customer : It works pretty good.

I just spooled 10lb test on my new reel and have got 2 more to go. I don't see anything that would change that with the other two reels. I'll have to see how the line comes off my reels in about 2 weeks. Painting the Boat !

Michael Peeples : No worth the money

Not well made at all I’d spend the money to get a better one next time.

Amazon Customer : Excellent Product

Excellent Product

Letsgetfishin365 : Berkley does it again...
