ABSTRACT:
An apparatus comprising a rack like structure for holding fishing line spools for storage and an attached tension device for applying tension to the line spools for fishing reel loading applications; the line spools being held on the structure by a removable rod being inserted through the spools' center holes, the rod then being housed horizontally on the structure, by each end being placed into a groove contained on each of the structure's upright bases respectively. The tension device, comprising a stationary arm and a pivoting arm, these being connected by a compression spring, is mounted on the structure's horizontal support members through bushings, and in such a way as to allow the tension device to traverse the entire length of the structure's horizontal axis, back and forth, and parallel to the rod containing the line spools, whereby allowing access to apply tension to any individual line spool. A grooved wheel, attached to the pivoting arm's uppermost end, when depressed against a line spool's rim, creates tension on the spool, and thus on the line contained there-on, so the line can be reeled tightly onto a fishing reel so as to avoid a backlashing effect.
