It works beautifully I love the berkley set up but like he said the tension screws always strip out after a short period of time so I bought one of the p-line spoolers solely for the parts which I now use on the berkley unit and they have worked great for both small and bulk spools.

The water will create enough drag and you won't have to worry about the birdnest on the first throw.

I took the main shaft that held the spool out of the reel and broke the plastic star that encased the drag tension nut so I could run it down the shaft threads further...then I have a small c-clamp that i can clamp to what ever is close and place the spool of line on the shaft and the smooth side of the spool goes to the reel spool stop washer and then I place the drag washer on next then the tension nut and I can set the tension to what I need and wallah I'm fill'n reels without backlashes to the line spool and keep'n good tension on the line going on the reel...
