I took a old coffee can, drilled about 20 screws into it, and attached a piece of all thread to it. 

 

I chuck that into my drill, can strip a reel in about 15 seconds. Just take a pair of scissors and cut line of and ready for the next one. 

I have a very serviceable homemade one but I liked the 2 piece design for string removal so I bought one.   

Y'all must be in a hurry! Haha. I just wrap it way too tightly around the palm of my hand to practice my hoodini escape skills

12-15 rigs that I spool every year, some 3-4 times a year. If I can make a chore faster, why not?

I've only got 8 rigs, one of which is keeping it's line - 50# braid. But I have better things to do with my time than unspool reels by hand.

what in the world is all this witchcraft? Takes me 20 seconds to pull the line off of a reel lol. also to the guy who is worried about birds in the landfill, that stuff will be dumped by a transfer truck along with many more tons of trash then trampled by a compactor, buried into the earth never to be heard from again. Put it in a coke bottle and let it go

I’m just using my hands for now because I’m waiting for the Googan Squad to announce a $300 line stripper.

When I log on to bassresource.com and see a "Duracell vs Energizer" thread I will know for sure that has happened.

Just snag a passing truck to remove all the line quickly.

Trolling motor works but little difficult to remove the line.

I keep an empty spool around and a cordless drill and long chuck bit with some rubberbands wrapped onto the bit to make the spool fit snug.

you guys change your line?????

 

that looks like a boat trailer roller...
