Device for transferring fishing line

An electrical device useful in the process of transferring fishing line from a supply spool to fishing reel spool and spent line from such reel to a spent line takeup spool which comprises;

• a spool driving motor having a normal rotation direction;
• a motorized line guide;
• a power source;
• a master switch;
• a two-way switch having a first position which when activated activates a strip mode, and a second position which when activated activates a respool mode;
• a first conduit connecting the number one position on said two-way switch to a first conduit junction, a second electrical conduit connecting said first junction to said motorized line guide, a third electrical conduit connecting said first junction to said spool driving motor;
• a gate in said third electrical conduit permitting flow of current only from said first junction to said motor;
• respool mode circuitry includes a potentiometer, a overload power absorption unit connected to the output of said potentiometer, a fourth electrical conduit connecting the second position of said two-way switch to said potentiometer, a fifth electrical conduit connecting the output of said potentiometer to said absorption unit, and a sixth electrical conduit connecting the output of said absorption unit to said first motor.

A device for transferring fishing line from a supply spool to a fishing reel spool and spent line from such reel to a spent line spool, which comprises:

• a base;
• two spaced apart upright support members supported from said base;
• a spool support rod between said two spaced apart upright support members;
• said rod rotatable in a spool takeup direction or spool discharge rotational direction;
• an electric motor for driving said rod in a spool take-up rotational direction;
• means to apply drag resistance through said motor to said rod while said rod is rotating in a spool discharge direction;
• said means to apply drag resistance includes a power line between the power source and said motor and including a potentiometer and ballast resistors;
• a direct line, a two-way switch in which one way is connected to said potentiometer and a direct line to said motor is connected to the other way.

• an electric motor for driving said rod in a spool takeup rotational direction;
• means to apply drag resistance through said motor to said rod while said rod is rotating in a spool discharge direction;
• said support rod includes:
• a first shaft connectable at one end to be driven by said motor, said first shaft extending through said upright support member;
• a second shaft supported from the other upright support member with an inner section extending through said other support member,
• the cross-section of said first and second shafts are non-circular;
• a spool support cylinder insertable between said first shaft and said second shaft, one end having a hole for receiving the end of said first shaft extending inside said frame, and a hole in the other end of said support cylinder for receiving the inner section of said second shaft;
• a spring assembly supported by said second support member biasing said second shaft toward said first support member;
• a first spool retaining washer secured to said spool support cylinder and a spaced apart free floating washer for supporting spools between;
• means for holding said free floating washer in a selected position on said spool support cylinder.
