Abstract
A winding machine for winding fishing line from a spool onto the reel of a fishing rod is disclosed. The winding machine incorporates a novel spring-loaded tongue that is adapted to provide a light pressure onto the fishing line as it is wound onto the reel thereby preventing backlash. The disclosed winding machine is portable and can be field-deployed on either the wall of a boat or on any other convenient, reasonably flat surface.
