Great tip! I just use a 3/8" wood dowel. Fits right into the drill. Tie the line on the dowel and STRIP.
Even better!
Always remember to cut up your old fishing line into small pieces before throwing it away!
It could get wrapped around birds or other animals if you don’t!
Your comment is always worth mentioning! Some sporting goods stores will recycle it for you. I usually keep my old line in a gallon ziploc untill it is full and then take it in for recycling.
Every walmart ive ever been takes it... Recycles
@@nicwatson1225 I didn't know they did that. I'll check with my local store, thanks for the heads up.
I keep old spools and fit them over a drill bit. The spool is larger than my reel so the line comes off even faster. Also easier to save if I don't intend to disgard.
I just use a small twig or stick found around the yard. Stick that in the drill.
PVC management tip- I use a piece of coated copper electric wire and run my fittings through the wire then twist the wire together making a loop. You can use a wire coat hanger if you don't have the coated wire. I separate them by size and type. So I have a box (milk crate actually) with all my pvc fittings in it separated by wire. I just grab a wire, untwist and pull off what I need. No more digging through the box looking for what you need.
lol! I needed that tip! Thanks!
Now that is a great idea. When I was younger or my brother really was and do anything 5 cent candy bar. He take the end and run like all get-up and i'd go watch TV. lol
I had made some spool De-liner. It pults off the line with a drill the same way, but it open in the middle you can cut the line into spaghetti size pieces so nothing can get tangled in it.
Works great 👍🏽 is used for fly reel backing
Cool idea
I use a large wood drill bit and about 7 inches of pool noodle.
Also how I flip and or back my braid of my surf rods.
I put on 150 yards of braid then top off the reel with mono on bulk roll. Then flip it by reeling it all up on a piece of pool noodle, then reel it up on another piece of pool noodle, then back on the reel.
Just have to insure that the uni knot from mono to braid is on the bottom of the spool or it will make a hump on the spool and catch when you cast.
Wonderful ideas!
Works good 👍
Metal dowel, blow torch.
WhoallaH! Saved the dolphins at the same time, efficient and super quick.
Or, any other way y’all say is good too.
There are many ways. Find something that makes it fun for you.
Do it more often. Make fishing more fun and find yourself doing it more.
Better line, better time 🌵🧀🎣
I do something similar when stripping line.
3 concerns with your method:
1. Set the torque low on the drill (safety).
2. Use something longer that what is shown here to keep line away from drill chuck.. Line can get wrapped underneath the chuck collar on the drill.
3. Never use your fingers to guide line with this method (safety).
I simply chuck a wooden dowel into the drill. You can throw it away, slide the line off, or cut it with a razor blade/sharp knife.
I also wear gloves in case a finger gets wrapped up. Braid can literally cut to the bone.
Why not make a drill chuck adapter that steps up to a larger diameter/longer pvc pipe? Spray a little lube on a girthy pipe, and watch that line slide off!
Good idea! Thanks for the pointers
Nice hack
Holy crap! Almost 40k!!!
I know!!
Instead of running a bolt through a pvc plug, I ran one through the cap of a 16 oz soda bottle. Coke bottles have a nice contour for collecting line. Just attach to your drill and you're off to the races. When you get done stripping one reel, just throw some duct tape over the line and bottle. Repeat for many reels until the bottle is full. At that point, you can throw it away as one compact unit and re-use the bolt/cap on the next bottle.
Perfect! I see another video in my future
@@KayakhacksFishing Those wide-mouthed gator-ade bottles work really well too.
I just chuck up about a 3-in drywall screw tie the line to it and let her rip. When I reach the end, unchuck, and toss in the garbage.
Good idea!
I may have to re-visit this video the next time I'm re-spooling reels!
Any thoughts on making the inner piece able to fit a restroom tissue roll somewhat loosely, so the whole thing can just come off in an instant and be thrown out or recycled?
I'll have to think about that!
My buds and I have a much easier trick than both those options and I'm gonna share... A TWIG... kinda of like a slingshot from the cartoons or the capital letter "Y" ? Or like the old stick in the mud when fishing with a bobber and bait. By hand first, wrap a little line around the twig (towards the top of the "Y" so it won't slip off,) then with a drill, or even your fingers at the bottom of the twig (granted with fingers it's a slightly slower method) SPIN IT! AND when done, toss the line and twig, no need to remove it. Been doing this for 40plus... try it!
Good idea!
Grab a small throw-away stick, pencil, or branch that will fit into your drill. Unwind the line onto the stick. Melt the line into a sticky mess-on-a-stick using a propane torch before cooling it off and tossing in the trash.
Great idea on melting!
That’s genius
Love your videos, but a easier way is to use a plastic water bottle , drill a hole in the cap , add the bolt, strip your line , then throw the bottle away 👍
Good idea!
Thanks , try it , then make a video 👍
I was taking my old line off my 8000 LL penn fierce 3 and at the end I got my finger stuck while taking line off with my drill and it hurt so bad. 50lb line crunch.
Ouch. Careful! I ended up liking this option the best - ua-cam.com/video/FjcObxW5vYU/v-deo.html
I use a similar method with the drill. But instead of the PVC I use a plain old wooden dowel from Walmart and cut it at about 4 inches long chuck it in the drill and spin it off. Throw it away when done. Also never use your fingers to guide the line, it'll cut you! I use the tip off a broken rod.
Great tip!
@@KayakhacksFishing seems like it would be easier and faster. Maybe a little bit safer too.
@@iamtoxic1 I'm going to do another video using a pencil instead of a dowel as well as a water bottle. Your suggestion was made by others as well!
@@KayakhacksFishing a pencil is same principal as a dowel. Just please don't guide the line on with your finger.
I use an old paper towel tube and a drill.
I just grab a stick from the yard that will fit in the chuck of the drill. Throw it all away when I’m done.
Good idea!
I put a dowel rod in my drill n pull it off ...throw in trash
Good idea!
Just slip an empty toilet paper roll over the chuck of the drill.
If you leave your reel on your for you will have a pole stripper.
lol!
I just use a pencil and throw it all away.
Good idea!
