Abstract
Abstract A device for rewinding line onto a spool comprising two substantially parallel sides spaced apart by a handle, a shaft rotatably mounted through a first side and biased toward a second side, with spool gripping means on end of the shaft adjacent to the second side for gripping a spool and forcing it against the second side which is preferably a plate or baffle having a configuration at least as large as the spool.
