PENN HD Line Winder Product Video

[@JeffreySmith-m3y]

I'm the nutjob that bought a Triangle HD140 off a tackle shop to spool my own reels but having this on the boat is awesome. I can switch out top shots in a hurry and have the right tension while doing so. If you've ever fished SoCal you know fish get stupidly picky and my standard need for this is putting 20# mono on a heavier setup to entice a bite. It works fast and with enough tension. I wouldn't want to spool 500 yards of 100# spectra with this but for my use it's awesome. For freshwater guys, this will cover every possible base you've got.

Cam you use 1/4 or 1/ 2 pound spools

[@ashsahcash]

can i use it for fly line and backing

[@PENNfishing]

Yes!

[@gulp_man1026]

Nice I'm buying this

[@kenblanchardjr4418]

I thought that spooling a Spinning reel it had to come off of the spool and added to the Reel in the same direction that's it's coming off. If not it will create line twist.

[@andrewmorke]

Can you get about 5 lb of tension for braids?

[@PENNfishing]

Yes! Depending on the brand of braid of course.

[@MrFaxtax]

How much tension should be on the Winder for 20 pound monofilament line?

[@johncevora242]

I paid 68.00 for it. And it works great.

[@jeffreybabino8161]

[@ddube1407]

When using do you need to make sure line comes off bottom for spinning reels and top of spool for say a baitcaster ????

[@PENNfishing]

Line can come off the storage spool on either the top or the bottom, however top is recommended to prevent possible chafing.

[@frankguzzo39]

Arent those cones supposed to turn?

[@djpruitt65]

same question I've tried to get answered for years and everyone ignores. drag washers never come into play because the metal cones are slick and the plastic spool slips on them before the drag ever comes into play. Need a way to lock the cones into the spool like ridges or keyed washer with pins that hit the ridges in the spool.

[@frankguzzo39]

@@djpruitt65 Exactly right! We improved it with self amalgamating tape on the cone surfaces to help grip the spool. We complained and the supplier just gave us another one. Pretty disappointing for Penn from an engineering perspective. Sorry Ben but this presentation makes you look like a numbskull...

[@JeffreySmith-m3y]

​@@frankguzzo39It's interesting but I bought a new one recently and it came with silver cones that are spinning. Kind of need to press them into the spool to really center them but they spin. Not sure the performance changes at all. I was getting 12lbs before and I'm getting 12lbs now. A little smoother on start up for sure but other than that I am not noticing a difference. Does make me feel better though.

[@carminecaiazzo6770]

how do you know what pressure to use for different reels

[@PENNfishing]

There are no hard and fast rules regarding tension settings, but generally about 10-15 percent of the line test is about right.

[@jman3336]

What is the retail price

[@fieldoperations4340]

[@hootertexas9711]

Probably way overpriced

[@tunanorth]

Pretty reasonable at $69.99; lots of folks have commented that they will buy one at that price!

[@masterbeethoven8209]

The cheaper (well, free) option is to put a sweatshirt in a bucket, throw your spool in there and reel in the line. The spool gets contained in the bucket and the sweatshirt adds drag so the line doesn't reel in too loosely.
