    FGoddess, Yes, looked funny me walking up the street to attempt to straighten spiralled line.
    EZ,The dragon awoke as I was unwinding...ergo the nightmare began.
    Jed, ecomonical and practical walking around the house with a milk jug. Didn't this cause spirals in backing and line?

    I feel like the Tool Man - Tim Taylor saying....More Power. I have one of these, takes a little getting use too, but it does work great. It has a rubber disc for the reels that has holes all over it to fit any reel. With a good battery powered drill it is fast.

    There is a way we do it in idaho, but it requires two john deer tractors w/P.T.O. and duct tape.

    It gets a nice tight wind.

    Any questions?
