stripping line

[Terry Harman]

any hacks for stripping line off spools ? a job i really hate

 

[Mark Swaby]

Rapala line stripper works well, put the line in the right direction, press the button and aim into a bin.

 

[Clive Shipman]

I use a drill much quicker

 

[Richard Isaacs]

A very sharp scalpel and a very steady hand so not to cut into the spool. I cut my old line off in seconds

That’s the risk.
I’ve done it for years and you get a knack for it.

just ordered one gerry

I just took a plastic water bottle, removed the lid, drilled a hole in the lid and put a twoinch nut and bolt through it, fastened it up tight , replace the lid on the empty bottle .
I use it in the chuck of my battery drill, it empties a spool in seconds. The one below has hundreds of yards of various lines on from my beach, boat and coarse reels . Once it is full I just wind some brown parcel tape around the line on the bottle, bin it and get another bottle … start again.

Next time I re-spool, I’m combining @David Craine ‘s bottle and @Richard Isaacs ‘s scalpel. Might even recycle the old line too.

These - https://fishdeal.co.uk/t/fishing-ac...V9ktW7RScTf6maoqKraaCgyFJHx7MYjQaAtMVEALw_wcB

Attach to a drill, despool then pull off the cap and the line slides off in one go . . .

or as Rich which is also my usual method - ie. scalpel/sharp knife carefully down the line, just don't go all the way and pull off the last few yards to save damaging spool etc . . .

Ingenious bit of kit.Small enough to keep in your tackle box/bag.

 

[Dave Quinn]

Drill and mini pain roller

 

[Graham Elliott]

Hold the reel in your main hand.

Use the other hand to pull the line from the open spool.

2 minutes job done.

 

[Paul Richardson]

Drill and a core off a toilet roll
Very quick and tidy and dead line Less likely to cause a problem down the waste disposal chain
Assuming you don’t fully respool if you feed the line through your fingers as it comes off you feel the Albright knot so a logical point to stop and rejoin new line

Large old line spool, threaded bar and a couple of bolts, attach to electronic drill. Done it this way for years.

 

[Derek Funcks]

Ive always used a good set of braid scissors {gardener }, quick line removal, and no damage to the spool.
