Can anyone recommend a handheld line spooler that works with Spey reels? Something along these lines - https://fishthefly.ca/fishing-line-spoolers/

I've had pretty good luck with the Rio Cranky. It can be a bit fiddly but the price is right in my mind especially if you've got a stockpile of old line spools.

Open it up and flip the pawl for loading the reel.
Got this last year and am pretty happy with it.

I've got the Berkley Portable Line Spooler Station. ON;y issue I had was setup time but then I don't feel it would be any longer then others. I found for the price it was good value and did the job plus it works for different style of reels..

Hi, ive been switching out some lines and have been thinking there has yo be an easier way. Have you had a chance to try this out yet? Do you need to buy multiple spools? Thxs.
I've found that Amazon spooling tool to be handy. I've also used a few of the ideas from this Tightline Productions video, specifically the idea for rubber chair leg feet and a cordless drill. The drill setup really comes in handy when dealing a lot of backing.
