Spool with holder

A spool and holder comprising:

• a spool having a line side and an opposite holder side and including a cylindrical rim, radially outwardly extending holder-side and line-side flanges at each side of the spool, and a hub connected to the rim and having an axial bore;
• a holding means including a grip portion and an axle portion, the axle portion extending into the axial bore so that the spool is rotatably mounted on the holding means;
• an integral stop means on the holding means located between the grip portion and the axle portion for preventing the holding means from passing through the axial bore beyond a position at which the stop means abuts the spool, wherein the holding means does not project axially substantially beyond the line-side flange;
• integral retention means on the axle portion and interacting with the axial bore for retaining the spool on the holding means;
• and
• a winding means including a winding bore extending through the spool parallel to the axial bore and situated between the axial bore and the radially outermost portion of either flange, and a winding handle removably insertable into the winding bore through the line side of the spool, the winding handle including a substantially cylindrical hand-hold portion of a diameter forming a close sliding fit within the winding bore and which merges through an intermediate shoulder with a shaft portion of slightly lesser diameter, whereby the winding handle is axially movable within the winding bore between an extended or winding position in which the hand-hold portion of the winding handle projects from the line side of the spool, and a retracted position in which the hand-hold portion is retained substantially within the winding bore.
