We've had several requests for devices to remove line from reels, and for line maintenance.  With the advent of Spectra lines, innovated by Izorline almost 10 years ago, some folks have taken an interest in line "washing" to prolong the service life of their Spectra as well as prevent an accumulation of salts on the line and reel spool.  We've seen a vigorous debate about the merits of line washing.  My own bias is against taking the time and trouble to wash the line.  If it costs me a spool 10 or more years from now, I can live with that given the time it takes to unwind and wind up the line.  But, many anglers are giving serious thought to taking the line off and washing it, then putting it back on a reel.  Swifty makes THE device for this maintenance.  Their products are well engineered, well made, and well thought out. They offer a wide range of products for line winding and maintenance.

 

For easy line removal Swifty makes use of a standard power drill.  The Swifty Line Remover was developed to strip used fishing line from reels.  It was designed to be compact and portable.  All you will need to do is supply a power source (drill motor) and you can easily strip monofilament from 2# test to 100# test.  It has the capacity to strip 850 yards of 50# test in less that 90 seconds.  This is the capacity of a Penn International 50SW.  It will also strip all of the smaller reels down to micro spinning reels with 2# test.
  1.  Insert the spindle into a drill motor.

  2. Attach both halves of the Swifty with the wing nut & washers. (Only if disassembled)

  3. Place the drill motor into a secure device.

  4. Place fishing reel in free spool (conventional) or open bail (spinning reel).

  5. Do not run line through rod guides.

  6. Wrap line around the Swifty.  (DO NOT TIE)

  7. Place drill motor in the “forward” rotation.

  8. Firmly hold the fishing reel while depressing drill motor trigger.

  9. Remove the used fishing line from the fishing reel.

  10. Just before the fishing reel is empty, stop the drill motor.

  11. Cut the remaining line off the fishing reel.

  12. You can continue emptying additional reels until the Swifty is full.  Once full, split the 2 halves by removing the wing nut.

  13. Please recycle the used fishing line by returning it to your local tackle store.

 




This is the device to use for washing your line.  There are two sizes available, one for 30 wide and smaller and one for 50 size and up through 80 wides. You use this piece between the Swifty line remover, along with their wider Tool Kit.

Place the Insert between both halves of the Swifty Line Remover.

Insert the SS spindle into the drill motor.  Attach the assembly to the drill motor with the wing nut & washers.

Place the drill motor into a secure device.

Place fishing reel in free spool.

Do not run line through rod guides.

Tie the filament line to one of the cross bars.

Place drill motor in the “forward” rotation.

Extreme care must be taken not to allow your fingers to be exposed to the spinning spools.

Firmly hold the fishing reel while depressing drill motor trigger.

Remove the fishing line from the fishing reel.  Use care to layer the line on the PowerWasher.  Do not allow the line to build up in one location.  Maintain steady line  tension to ensure a quick and easy return of the cleaned line to the reel.

Just before the fishing reel is empty, stop the drill motor.

Cut the remaining line off the fishing reel.

Remove the Insert from the Line Remover.

Wash and dry the filament line.

Return the Insert to the Line Remover using the Blue shaft and collar.  Place a small amount of tension on the collar to maintain pressure on the insert.

Return the line to the reel using care not to place any force on the PowerWasher.  Use some other source of tension when replacing your line.

You now have clean filament line ready to catch that trophy fish.

 

 

For power washing your line you'll need one of the Power Washer inserts above,  and the Power Washer Tool Kit (pictured right) and the Swifty line remover.

Swifty Nu-Skin Reel Armor
 

Here's another new Swifty product, Nu-Skin Reel Armor. Tired of having your expensive, beautiful machined aluminum anodized reel scratched and banged up? Want to extend the good looks many more years? Well, Nu-Skin will do that job and not detract from the performance of the reel. It's a fairly thick stick-on. You apply it to the side of the reel and around the outside edge. It's removable...when you want it off, and it sticks well regardless of what a deckhand may do with a hose and power wash. On the image of my Penn 50W  International on the right you can see the Nu-Skin on the sideplate as well as surrounding the top of the plate. That's the area protected by the "skin." Click on the link below for sizing information (use your right mouse button and open as a new window so you aren't pulled from this page). "Sizing Chart"

Nu-Skin Reel Armor was designed to preserve and maintain the beauty of you aluminum bodied fishing reels. Fishing reels are subject to abuse while being transported. Often, rods and reels are stored in close proximity and bump and or rub together during this time. This damage is called “Boat Rash”. We have designed a clear, flexible, semi-permanent membrane to cover both the non-handle side plate and the top of the frame. These are the areas most susceptible to “Boat Rash”. The Reel Armor stays in place and does not impair the use of the reel during fishing. The Reel Armor is removable for service. It will also protect the reel when not in service. The product is so clear that you will not even see it when installed.

Nu-Skin Reel Armor
Applications:

▪ Inshore Aluminum Bodied Reels

CharkBait Product feedback: Due to heat, the armor can shift and slide on the sideplate. It's darn sticky. While it does provide some added protection, it's not perfect. - That's my take, and while I had it on one reel, I've since taken it off the reel.
