My E-Bay Victory

[dizzy fisherman]

I've been searching for a certain out of production item for awhile now and one finally came up to auction about 2 weeks ago and luckily I won. :cool: I spool all of my reels with bulk line I buy at the store. It's cheaper to do it this way and I have some older reels that can't handle the motorized line winders.

In the past I've used the Berkley line winder, phone books, and even managed to coax my wife in to helping me put line on reels.:D Well no more my friends. Say hello to my little friend....."The Line Reeler". It has suction cups on the bottom so it doesn't move unlike the Berkley line winder, and it has two smooth metal washers that apply tension to the line. The tension can be increased or decreased by tightening or loosening the nut & spring on the end of the washers. If you like to spool your own reels I highly recommend "The Line Reeler" if you can find one ;)

Nice....I still use my fingers and pinch the line to keep tension and just let the spool flop around. :D

Nice purchase, I have been checking out the Berkley setup myself since that seems to be the only thing you can purchase locally

I have the Berkely line winder too. I'd make you a deal on it :D

Thats sweet! Ebay is so great for that sort of thing, I found a wing window for our van for 15 bucks one time.......Nice find you got there.

Don't forget Craig's List! That site can come up with insane deals. When Fabi first got pregnant, we started looking and found this materaty store that was merging with another. They were almost giving away clothing, she got a couple pairs of shorts that list at $200 (yes, two hundred) for $5 each!!!!

Orange County Ca is a weird place sometimes. But anyway, we are a little more cautious now that crazies are killing people they lure in with good sales, usually meet up with them in a public place if you get an odd feeling.

Anyway, again congratulations Dizzy. It's pretty cool how these small victories can make you feel good for so long.
