I have never liked flaking 150 ft. of throw bag line into a bucket or small line mug, takes to long. Here's what I came up with. I came across a small plastic wire spool for audio speaker wire. I then made a small post ( longer than the width of spool ) and threaded one end for a 1/4'' - 20 bolt. Next I drilled a hole in the bottom of a 5 gal. bucket. I attached the post to the inside of the bucket, when you look inside, the post is standing straight up. Wrap the throw bag line around the spool and put the spool on the post. This resembles an open face fishing reel. The nice thing is that the line pays out pretty easy. You may have to pull some out to get started. I have been using this setup for 4 yrs. now, it has never tangled or gave me any problems. When you need to wrap the line up, slide the spool off of the post and wrap it with the spoolin your hands.
