ABSTRACT:
A spool holder for holding a spool and transferring a quantity of line under tension between the spool and a reel. The holder is a generally U-shaped member having a horizontal bottom wall and vertical side walls fixed in laterally spaced relation and each side wall has a circular aperture therethrough in horizontal axial alignment. Suction cups on the underside of the bottom wall releasably secure the holder to a support surface. A shaft is received through the bore of the spool and is frictionally engaged therein and has opposed ends rotatably mounted in the side wall apertures to rotate relative thereto such that the spool and shaft rotate as a single unit. Resilient members may be installed on the shaft for adapting the shaft to frictionally engage different size bores. One embodiment has an adjustable thumb screw which frictionally engages the shaft to apply resistance during rotation to maintain tension in the line when being unwound from the spool and transferred onto the reel and also has a hand crank connected to the shaft for rotating the spool to wind line back onto a spool from a reel. Another embodiment has a pair of adjustable thumb screws extending through the side walls in horizontally opposed relation with their inward facing ends movable into frictional engagement with the laterally opposed flanges of the spool to apply frictional resistance to the spool during rotation.
