Spooling up reels is a chore that comes around often enough that
it’s not a bad idea to invest in a dedicated spooling station or one of
several portable line storage and spooling accessories on the market.
Here are few that we think you’ll want to check out:
SPOOLIN BUDDY 15 UNIT
This is arguably among the highest-quality portable spooling stations on the mar-
ket. Not only does it provide a solid anchor point for spooling line, but it acts as an
open storage bin to keep spools of varied sizes neatly organized and easily accessible.
The rigid frame is made from high-density polyurethane plastic and features trian-
gular end caps that are rounded so you can access any rack by simply rolling the unit
over like a tumbler. The 15 Unit model will hold 15 bulk spools from 1,000 to 3,000
yards in size and even more filler spools. Four smaller sizes are also available.
The 15 Unit model features three spool racks. It comes with a convenient carrying
handle at one end and 15 reusable line-size stickers.
The rack measures 23 inches long by 11 1/2 inches wide and assembles in about
five minutes. $129.95 (smaller models range from $64.95 to $119.95)
