HaHa, spooling machine that's funny. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Surely you can be semi creative and come up with some sort of way to hold the line and still get it in the spool relatively easy. If not, I would be willing to bet there are some youtube videos out there that would help you get going in the right direction.

I thought spooling machines were what the factories used to fill 50 spools at a time, If you think you need a machine to put line on a reel properly, your making fishing WAY TO DIFFICULT!! I would bet me and my pencil, wooden doll, rifle cleaning rod, or what ever, can probably do it better than the store can!! Fact!! It's fishing, make it simple!! And remember how well you were casting before the big heave, snap casting or whipping the rod to gain extra distance is probably the biggest mistake new to baitcasting, casters do.

The best line I can think of for a beginner is TRILENE BIG GAME, in my opinion it is ideal to learn on. It is very economical, I just bought a 1/4 lbs. spool at bass pro, like others have said 1/4 Lbs. spool is less than $9.00, less than 1 cent a yard, and that will fill your reel 7 times, maybe 8, so it cost less than $1.25 to fill your reel. In all honesty by then you should have your reel down. the good thing about Big Game is, there are plenty of lines that cast better and many that cast worse, so it is a little stiffer and kinda like a premium Fluoro, and as far as that goes still good enough to fish every day if your going to run Mono. The one thing I think it does as good as any other line, and better than most limper premium mono is, it has excellent abrasion resistance!! Hard to beat for abrasion resistance, and my favorite mono to use for leaders off of braid!

i dont have a spooling machine thats why i just take it down to the local store. 120 yards of fluro was only costing me $12.

i would do it my sefl if i got ahold of a spooling machine or something that woudl make it easier. last tiem o spooled mono on my own it was very lose hard doing 5 things at once. holdign the rod cranking the reel, holding the line, keepign pressure on the line, and guiding it. i lose patience fast. but yea i see what you mean doign your own is cheaper. i woudl just buy a big 1500-3000 yard line i have the storage just dont have the equipment. i coudl be wrong but i think spoolign machines are close to a grand if i were to buy one.

For gods sake man, put down the caffene and slow down.

You don't have to have a spoiling machine to put on line. You get a friend, a ball point pen and spool the thing. That's why we have a thumb and finger. People have been putting on line for years without a spooling machine
