Hi All;

That's too much work!

I take my reel attach it to a workbench edge with a spring clamp then wind line on a spare fly line spool attached to my cordless drill. One hand on the drill trigger the other holds the applicator and I vary the speed of the drill to match the required speed to keep everything from tangling. It takes longer to wind the line back on the reel than anything else!

I can easily clean about four or five lines in less than half an hour!

Of course the cleaner is zipcast, wouldn't use anything else!
