Benefits of technology

"The fishing line spool holder has a housing with a base and side walls, with cross braces as needed. The housing has a front side that allows the line to be pulled out from a spool inside. The holder has removable rods that fit into the spool's bores, allowing the spool to rotate freely. The holder has different rod positions to accommodate different spool sizes. Braking members are also included to slow down the rotation of the spool when the line is being pulled. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and efficient holder for fishing line spools."

Problems solved by technology

This is a difficult task for an individual to accomplish alone, and often two persons participate—one to wind the reel and the other to retard the line feeding in some manner.
This presents storage and transport problems.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to the drawings, the invention will now be described in detail with regard for the best mode and the preferred or preferred embodiments. In a general sense, the invention is a fishing line spool holder capable of holding multiple spools of the same or differing sizes, the spool holder having braking members to retard rotation of a spool when line is being unwound from the spool. The spool holder has removable rods to allow for placement of the spools and such that differing groupings of spools with different sizes may be accommodated.

[0019]One embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 through 7. The spool holder housing or main body 10 presents a generally rectangular footprint and comprises a base 11 and a pair of opposing side walls 12. In order to provide a more stable construction, the housing 10 is also preferably provided with cross braces 13 that extend between the side walls 12. In this embodiments there are four cross braces 13, two located at the...

The spool holder has removable rods such that differing groupings of spools with different sizes may be accommodated.

Description

[0001]This is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 931,975, filed Feb. 15, 2011. This application also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 518,343, filed May 4, 2011.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to the field of devices for holding a spool of fishing line as the line is unwound from the spool onto the reel of a fishing rod, and more particularly to such devices that are capable of holding multiple spools of differing sizes.[0003]When fishing line on a fishing rod needs to be replaced, the old line is removed from the reel and new line is wound onto the reel. It is important in winding the new line onto the reel that it be wound under relatively constant tension so that it will not roll excessively or backlash, as a properly wound reel is necessary for the line to play out correctly when cast. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to provide tension or friction to the lin...
