  • Device for removing fishing line from fishing reels
    Patent number: 6102319
    Abstract: A fishing line removal device and method is shown with two frustoconical spool portions, each having a larger diameter end and a smaller diameter end, and being arranged on a rod with the smaller diameter ends of the two spool portions contacting each other. A free end of a fishing line is trapped between the smaller diameter ends of the two frustoconical spool portions, and the spool portions are then locked in position on the rod. When the rod is rotated as a unit with the two frustoconical spool portions and the free end of the fishing line trapped between the smaller diameter ends of the two spool portions, a neat, compact and donut-shaped bundle of fishing line is formed around the tapered outer peripheral surfaces of the two frustoconical spool portions. Removal of one of the spool portions from the rod allows removal of the donut-shaped bundle of fishing line for reuse or recycling.
