You can change or clean your lines in minutes without any risk of twisting. Open the guides, adjust the coil size, lock in place using the C-clamp and simply turn the handle. You can clean it by winding the cord of the tool with a slightly damp cotton cloth, and then by winding it back on the reel - lubricate it with a lubricant for lines. With its sturdy brass and steel construction, this winder will serve you for many years and is simply indispensable. It's portable and convenient to take on multi-day trips to clean, oil or change your lines near the river.
