| Salmon anglers need to re-spool regularly with fresh line. Sometimes this can mean almost every day depending on sea and river conditions. Crushed, worn or nicked line could cost you the fish of a lifetime.
A battery powered electric drill saves time and speeds up the re-spooling job considerably.
A spare spool, or a spare reel, is a valuable asset enabling a quick change over in the event of a horrid "birds-nest" which always seems to happen just when the salmon are biting. Most salmon anglers carry at least one spare reel and/or spare spool incase of reel failure for any reason. See getting a horrid "birdsnest when casting a baitcaster reel."
