Dicks and Efingers line spooling?
 
I know most people are going to say to do it myself and that it is easy by simply watching videos, but I would rather have someone who knows what they are doing do it. So the question is will dicks or efingers spool whatever line you buy onto your reel for you? I plan I getting braid on one, flouro on another and mono on the rest. I know they do their specific bulk lines but if I want to pick something else will they spool it?

They should for a small fee but call and ask.

I know the Dicks near me won't spool braid, don't know if that is just for this specific location or in every Dicks, I would call and ask before you go.

If the store has a machine some can be set up to do both.

Speaking for myself and probably some others here. Some of you guys have to understand not all of us live by a Sponsor bait/tackle shop. I live an hour away from any of the sponsors on this site. If I need tackle or spool a reel. There is eBay and closest shop is a non sponsor. Trust me, I would rather give the sponsors the business. I do when I am down the shore fishing.

Back to the subject Dick's in Woodbridge, spools whatever is your preference.

Nice people. Kinda sucked that 4 people came to the counter and none of them could figure out how to spool a left handed baitcaster with their machine. Guess I'll be doing it myself haha.

I'm sure for a twelve pack of Budweiser, u can meet up with Jay and he can reel while u hold the braid with a screwdriver through the spool! All jokes aside, it's not rocket science, sometimes I've had my wife or 4 year old help me out. Hardest part is tying the knot on the reel, or some people prefer to use tape. I usually use a mono backing and then splice the braid onto the mono with uni to uni knot. make sure u leave enough room on the spool for a top shot!
