Abstract
The reel stringer may comprise a spool retainer, one or more eyelets, a reel holder, a housing, and a line cutter. The reel stringer may be operable to hold a new line spool and a reel such that fishing line may be wound onto a reel spool from the new line spool by turning a crank handle on the reel. The reel may removably couple to the reel holder for stringing. The spool retainer may hold the new line spool such that the new line spool may rotate as the fishing line is used. The fishing line may feed from the new line spool, through the one or more eyelets, and onto the reel. A first storage section may be used to store spools of string and other supplies. An alternative embodiment may provide a second storage area.
