Line Gobbler Line Stripper - Remove Fishing Line Quickly with Drill

In this review the Line Gobbler Line Stripper is presented as a simple, time-saving tool for anglers who routinely replace line on spinning and casting reels. The bottom line: if you want an easy way to remove old line fast, the Line Gobbler delivers by attaching to most cordless drills and using a no-tools retention plate to lock line in place. It is aimed at recreational and serious anglers who value speed and a low-cost, durable accessory that reduces time spent re-spooling reels.

Key Features

• Cordless drill compatible: Attaches to nearly any cordless drill via a metal hex shaft so you can despool reels much faster than by hand.
• No-tools line locking system: The retention plate with v-grooves secures the line quickly so you do not need extra tools to start stripping.
• Fast despooling: Using your drill with a light clutch setting lets you control speed and remove line efficiently without over-tensioning the spool.
• Quick line removal: The retention plate releases with a push button and the contoured cone shape makes it easy to slide old line off for disposal or recycling.
• Durable material: Molded from impact resistant ABS to withstand repeated use and provide a reliable long service life.

Who It's For

The Line Gobbler is a practical choice for bass, panfish, and saltwater anglers who reline reels regularly and want to cut bench time. It suits workshop use or on the garage bench where a cordless drill is already available, and it is helpful for anglers who service multiple reels in one session.

It is less useful for anglers who never use a cordless drill, those who prefer manual despooling for delicate line types where precise tension is critical, or anglers who do not change line often enough to justify an extra accessory.

Pros & Cons

• Simple attachment and operation with most cordless drills makes spool removal fast and repeatable.
• No-tools retention plate holds line securely so starting the despooling process is quick.
• Durable ABS construction and a contoured cone make removing and discarding old line straightforward.
