Nearly all anglers first spooled their reels the old-fashioned way: either holding the new spool of line between your knees while cranking in the line on your fishing reel, or recruiting a buddy to hold the spool with a pencil through the middle while you reeled away.

Then these anglers usually graduated to an actual line winder to do a better job.

Here’s a “reel-e-good” solution to all of this.

The Reel-E-Good Winder performs all of these tasks in one.

It’s a line winder and stripper for spinning reels, fly reels, baitcasting reels and spare spools.

The winder can be used to load the reels or spools with line by placing the new spool of line on one end and reeling in by hand.

Or the winder can be used to strip off old line either by hand or by attaching a battery-powered screwdriver.

A line counter is also available that can be attached to count the number of feet of line either loaded on or stripped off.

The winder can also be used to clean fly lines. Simply strip or load the line and use a cloth to apply cleaner while the line passes between the cloth you hold against the line.

The Reel-E-Good Winder can be set up for either right hand or left hand use. It adapts to most small to medium-sized reels. Its base is weighted for stability, and soft button feet provide a non-slip grip and also prevent it from scratching surfaces. Or the feet can be easily removed for fixed mounting.
