Abstract:
A device for transferring fishing line between a supply spool () and a fishing reel () has a post () mounted between two rotatable footholds () which are adapted to allow the user to hold the device between his feet as the line is fed from the spool to the reel. The post () is adapted to receive the fishing line supply spool, and to hold the spool () tightly on the post as line is pulled from the spool. The device of the present development is relatively small, can be used by one person unassisted, and does not require any particular mounting surface so it can be carried with the fisherman to any location where he is using his reel.
