This product needs to have better instructions provided.

First, the instructions are so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read them. I’m at least smart enough to figure out what parts went where without the installation instructions. The drag is terrible and the ‘threaded rod’ comes unscrewed time and time again causing backlashes with my large spool. Look at the photos. If you’re really into fishing, the reel spools hard to the left when using the larger 1,000 yard spools. Definitely not something worth the $40.00. I’d rather spend $2,500 for the real spooling station than have my reels heavier on one side. Don’t buy this junk. Save your money.

Quality product with functional design. No problem handling up to a Makaira 50 II. IMO good investment for the price.

I recently purchased the Goture Fishing Line Spooler Winder Machine Reel Spooler Fishing Line Winder Spooler for my first time spooling an electric reel. It was easy to use and I was amazed how nice it spooled evenly along the spooler. Will know much more after using it later this month...June 2023. Gman

I have tried the other one that has own rod, but have a hard time getting it to work because it rely on two balls to hold the spool, it just end up falling off.This one is more stable, the rod for the spindle won't go into the spool with 3/8 hole like big game spool. I think a next size drill bit can open it up enough. It's just a bit too big.There is tension that is adjustable on the spindle, like a star drag, the lowest setting gives plenty of tension. I don't have any problem with the rod unscrewing or anything.It is a bit wobbly when holding the reel, but gets the job done, but it's far from shop quality tool.I did a lot of spooling with a pencil, drill, just grabbing the line with a cloth to get some tension.I notice the DIY ways if you get any off center motion, or stop and go motion, this will end up on the spool, you will see a zig zag pattern if it is braid. When you go to use it, it will be a bit hard to let line out, because the line was not spooled on smoothly. I usually set 100 to 150 of lines out when trolling, and wind it back, so whatever lay underneath usually doesn't matter.But when setting up a reel it does save time or your finger.I also used it to remove line from the reel, it's not the greatest winding quality bacl to the roll.. it does ok, the video suggests to set a bit of drag and let the line out, but I just put the reel in freespool, using the drag might be better because it puts tension, I didn't want to burn out my drag. I don't see how anyone would want to do that.Finally the price is the highest of this kind of tool, that's why I think it's a 3 or 4 star item.

A bit of a challenging the first time you use it but once you figure it out it does what it's supposed to used it to put power pro braided line on my reel

There are quite a few shortcoming with this product. First and major design flaw, the rod that the spool attaches to, threads into the mechanism. When you use the crank to put line onto a spool (one of the major functions for getting this product), the force goes against the threads, unscrewing the rod from the crank. When your loading line onto your reel, you must apply tension to the spool to load the line on the reel properly. This also causes the rod to unscrew from the crank. I will add lock-tight to remedy this. I was only using small 125 yard 20 lb braid. I can tell that a larger bulk spool with only magnify the problem. It There is no way to add tension to the supply spool other than holding it with your fingers. The crank looks like it is a star drag system but it is really not. This would have solved this issue. The arm holding the reel seat is flimsy plastic. This will break. I was using a 4500 Penn Spinfisher for my initial test. This is my lightest weight inshore reel. This setup should only be for 2500 class and lower spinning rods. With all the modifications I am going to have to make to make it functional, I'm not sure that I got my value for the price.

Using it for everything from fly reels to bait casters to put line on and off onto spool’s. It has saved me so much time and trouble. Love it.
