Great work! You probably know that Busted Fishing also now do a winder and also the have a line guide tool also as well as a cool tool to remove old line that you attach to an electric drill. You can also use these tools to get the exact amount of backing you require when you're using a small amount of top shot braid.
thumbs up on overall build.you get bonus points for using the best foot pedal made. (lucas lowboy 9) hope you are in the west coast cause the tuna are biting.
Sorry, I took my blog down about a year ago. The reel seats are just triangular metal pieces with a thumb screw that pushes the back piece up and puts pressure on the reel foot. Similar to the ones the triangle winder uses.
Thank you. Not a craftsman at all. The anodizing process is fairly straight forward using a mixture of the acid the sell for batteries, distilled water and a DC power unit. The dyes can be bought online from a company called Caswell plating.
ReelKingin Thanks. I have a home setup that I made. It's actually not that hard. You just need a few main things like battery acid, a power supply, distilled water and a few other things. There are a few videos on here how to do it. I might have to make a video of my own one day on the topic.
please do...i got some aluminum and SS fishing pieces I would LOVE to have done.....that would be awesome, ive looked at the videos on here over time and none of them are simple, they make it more difficult than what it really is....thanks for getting back to me
Thanks for the reply. The 16oz and 26oz have been discontinued for several years. For whatever reason charkbait still has them on their website but I had no luck getting them after a lot of back and forth with them supposedly contacting the manufacturer. If yours is the 26oz I'll give you $100 for it if that sparks your interest.
Thanks for the offer Mike, but I'm going to have to decline. I "think" it's a 26. Wanted to see if I could make one out of stainless as a project at some point.
Thanks for the inspirations. I've tested mine today. The only thing I need yet is the reel clamp and a better T handle for the drill. Where did you get the reel clamp aluminum? They look like minature leaf spring hangers, that is what i need next. www.thehulltruth.com/sportfishing-charters-forum/741211-weekend-project-handmade-spooler.html
+anderdw2 Nice work on your setup. I like it a lot. The aluminum was just some rectangular tubing that I cut at a 45 degree angle and used a Dremel to create a concave recess to grip the reel seat. Then just drilled and tapped a few holes as needed for the pivot point bolt and the lockdown thumb screw. Most of the materials were acquired on eBay or through onlinemetals.com. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Yup, saw they came out with a winder a few years after I built this one. I like to think this helped inspire them - lol.
Good job!!!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Do you know the model of the drill?
It's a Dewalt DW235G. Still have it and it's still going strong.
thumbs up on overall build.you get bonus points for using the best foot pedal made.
(lucas lowboy 9) hope you are in the west coast cause the tuna are biting.
+mywalkingfriend Thanks. The foot pedal is pretty well made. Well worth the money.
That is really nice.
Thank you.
What is the drill attachment? Did you make that as well?
Yes, that is a piece of aluminum with a threaded rod through the center that I also made.
I know this video is old, but do you have the build plans for it? If so, can you provide them?
Hi, sorry but it's been a long time since I built it so not sure I still have those plans. Will have to look.
Hi, I am looking at buying this spooler as well.. How close do the cones come together? will the points touch?
They're on a threaded rod so you can screw them down to touch if you wanted. Very good level of adjustability.
Is there a new link to the details blog? I'm curious on how you did your reel seats.
Sorry, I took my blog down about a year ago. The reel seats are just triangular metal pieces with a thumb screw that pushes the back piece up and puts pressure on the reel foot. Similar to the ones the triangle winder uses.
Any more details, would love to
Do one. Nice job
+anderdw2 Thanks. Wrote up some notes on my blog over at: shinyinsanity.com/homemade-line-winder-preservative-free/ Hope that helps.
Do you have plans for the line spooler?
Unfortunately no. Planned and built as I went along
Hi how do you hold the drill in place ? Thanks u
It's locked in place by friction from the screw down. I clamp the plastic neck of the drill, not the chuck itself.
craftsmen??, that aluminum work is beautiful,, tell us about the anodizing process
Thank you. Not a craftsman at all. The anodizing process is fairly straight forward using a mixture of the acid the sell for batteries, distilled water and a DC power unit. The dyes can be bought online from a company called Caswell plating.
Design plans, I’d like to build that one
Sorry, but it's been a long time since I built it so not sure where my plans are for this one.....if I even had a real set or just built on the fly.
Shiny Insanity ok well thanks, look very functional
cool setup....question , you mentioned you anodized the metal...how did you do that?
ReelKingin Thanks. I have a home setup that I made. It's actually not that hard. You just need a few main things like battery acid, a power supply, distilled water and a few other things. There are a few videos on here how to do it. I might have to make a video of my own one day on the topic.

Any chance you still have and would sell that catchy tackle lure in the video?
Sorry Mike, I like that lure a lot so it's not for sale. They still sell them online though if you cannot find them locally.

@@mikechavezjr9533 I have three 26 oz for sale if youre still interested
how much, I think you have a great chance of selling this product one of the very few nice looking and very well made
Thanks. It was an interesting little build. Wish I would have filmed the process.
@@ShinyInsanity I bet , it is well made best one I seen , simple yet strong
Well done, thank you.
Jmichael Isbell Thanks man.
how much do you sell
Sorry, it is not for sale.
Would you sell it
Sorry but not for sale....unless it's a really good price 😅
You need to make a lot of them and sale them
Too much work to be worth it to me, but thanks.

You have a parts list of what it took to build the system? That would be really helpful for those that would like to do a build..
Could you provide a list for us that would like to build one please?
Sell me that system please 😏red is my favorite color too..HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST ME TO GET THAT FROM YOU🤑🤑🤑
How can someone so skilled and resourceful be so totally crap behind the camera. Dude turn off the autofocus!!!
+Chris Hille I wish I could say that I have gotten better with the camera, but that would be a lie :)
Exactly Chris, I think we should ask for our money back on this free video
