The LineLathe was designed from the ground up to be a universal solution for loading lines and backing onto fly fishing reels. The primary goal was to create a machine that worked native with Lamson reels and was adaptable to all others with little effort. After several iterations which included a complete overhaul of the motor, foot pedal, and gearing, I believe the LineLathe is the fastest and easiest way to load line and backing onto a spool. It really shines when servicing customers reels after a salt water trip. With an optional high capacity 2 piece spool, you can strip the largest spool, clean the line and backing, and re-spool faster than any machine out there, hands down. I understand that this is a commercial grade machine but interested individuals are welcome as well. I sold a machine directly to Lamson for their kitting needs a little over a year ago. After some months I received the following from Tim Volk with Lamson Reels. "Bottom line up front—the Line Lathe is the most functional and precise tool for spooling fly reels. The amount of thought and design work that has gone into this tool is amazing. Build quality and machining on the components is top notch as well. We have spooled thousands of reels with the Line Lathe and the machine has shown no signs of wear or runout. From the live centers and adjustable/locking tailstocks to the heavy duty chucks, Line Lathe is not just a name." Please check out LineLathe on Instagram for pictures and a few videos.
