Just throw the spool in the floor and start reeling.

Similar to a pencil, run an arrow through the spool and place between two chairs with the backs of the chairs facing you as you reel. Keeps the spool in place pretty good.

I have never tried this so I am curious. Do you ever worry about damaging the line by all the friction created doing this?

Put my fishing line on the floor and go for it. Line start it dinette room,kitchen.living room,bathroom and stop at the bedroom. Next reel.

I put the spool in a bucket of water or if on the lake just throw in the water and start winding.

Just throw the spool on the ground and reel as fast as you can till the handle stops. Done

The water trick works well, used the bait tank out on the salt plenty. Just keep tension on the line as it enters the reel with a thumb & forefinger

This!

Went to Ebay spent 65 bucks on a heavy duty one. The service spools kept breaking the Berkley ones. made from heavy iron powder coated and heavy.

I leave the spool in the box and make sure the line does not touch part of the box while spooling. Very easy.

Berkeley spooling station

put the spool on a Phillips screwdriver then stabbed it through my garbage can. Holds right nicely.

I slip a long drill bit through the spool, put it between my toes and lay down in bed and reel in. Quite comfortable. And I can control how tight the spool is with my toes.

I use a Berkley spooler.
