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: YES fits various size spools. I have been using this decades. The first one lasted more than twenty years only replaced because spool holders were out. They may have been replaceable.

Answer: Yes, no problem

Will the work on spinning reels?

Answer: It absolutely works with spinning reels. Wind it a little and back spool to see if the line spins off. If it does spin the line around.

Answer: This will work with most casting and spinning reels

Answer: Yep

Answer: yes it should

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

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 : Flimsy

Worked great, easy on the first reel. Plastic spring snapped on the 2nd. Wasn't expecting high end, but not worth the $$.

Edith Stroud : Great price!

This was a gift for my fiance. Great price!

Timothy Y. Sunada : The construction of this item is very sturdy and seem easy enough to use

Unfortunately I haven't used the product yet. The construction of this item is very sturdy and seem easy enough to use. I like the fact I can used it on both my spinners and baitcaster. I have seen professional fishermen use this item on YouTube.

Guninstructor : Four Stars

a little flimsy, but it works.

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 : 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 !

thomas : Don't buy this

This thing sucks. Don't waste your money. Just use a pencil And have someone hold it. Line constantly came off spool and wrapped around the screws. Stupidest fishing item I've ever purchased.

Amazon Customer : Line machine

The product worked very well

Jim.tx : He loved it.

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

Martha C. : Gift

Bought as gift & he loved

Kindle Customer : Quick and Easy

Will never line a reel by hand again.

Paul : N/A

Have been needing one of these to re-line my fishing reels when I change the lines, however, overall most or all items that which I've ordered from Amazon have been great,

Thank you
Taylor,Paul L., U.S. Army Vet.

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.

chandra : Works great

Works great

bob : Four Stars

it has been really handy, have had no problems with it at all

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

cyril griffin : DOES NOT HOLD LINE SPOOL, WORTHLESS!!!

Piece of crap, not seller fault, fast shipping Berkley should be ashamed of this product, lesson learned, Berkley products are not engineered for use, if they think this is a good piece of fishing equipment.

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.

chandra : Works great

Works great

Tom D. Nicolos : Still Looking for a good one

I Ike the design but not the cheap plastic components. It is extremely difficult to cinch up the spool holder set screws. I will keep looking for something better.

Frank : Great product for the money.

After figuring out the spool arm, it was very easy to use and seems to do the job. It sure beats spooling by hand.

Amazon Customer : It works pretty good.

Milt Drucker : Works as advertised, did well on bait casters

This works well, I just tried with a few bait caster reels. Videos I saw online had a bunch of guys using this tool, so I wanted to get one to make it easier. I think this will help with spooling the line real tight versus having someone else do tension on the line. It worked as advertised.

I would however recommend a clamp to hold this thing down to a table or bench. This thing is cheap plastic and very lightweight. So while trying to apply a hard tension myself, it will bobble around. The rubber pads on the bottom really don’t do a ton. But it works. I wish it was a bit more sturdy for where the line spool attaches on the metal bracket though.

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

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Makes respooling your fishing line easy. Love 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.

Martha C. : Gift

Bought as gift & he loved

Tadd R. Bennett : Super Convenient

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

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.

Milt Drucker : Works as advertised, did well on bait casters

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.

Michael Peeples : No worth the money

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

elizabeth a lyons : Works great
