Abstract
Apparatus for winding a fishing line or the like onto or off from a variety of fishing reels, including a pair of reel holders positioned on opposite sides of the reel with one of the holders being rotatably driven as by a motor. One of the reel holders includes a support face that bears against an end of the reel, an axial hole in the holder, a centering shaft with a tapered face slideably mounted in the hole, and a spring that urges the tapered face of the shaft towards the reel to enter a central hole in the reel and thereby center the reel on the axis of rotation of the reel holder. One of the reel holders is in the shape of a spool with a tapered line-receiving axle and with a removable spool end at the narrowest end of the axle, so that line wound onto the tapered axle can be easily removed. Reels with bases are held on a frame with a cam-operated clamping bracket.
