Patent ID: 7841553

Claim:
A fishing line transfer assembly for enabling a user to transfer line from a spool to a reel assembly, the transfer assembly comprising, in combination: a spool support, the spool support comprising a spool-bearing portion, parallel rails axially extending from the spool-bearing portion, and a J-shaped hook member extending orthogonally from the rails opposite the spool-bearing portion, the rails each having a rail length, the J-shaped hook member for hooking the spool support to external anchoring means; and a guide mechanism, the guide mechanism comprising a carriage member and opposed spool interface units, the carriage member having a member length and opposed member ends, the opposed member ends each having a rail-receiving aperture, the rails being received by the rail-receiving apertures such that the carriage member is borne by the rails relatively orthogonal thereto and displaceable along the rail lengths, the spool interface units each having a member-receiving aperture and a U-shaped flange-receiving portion, the spool interface units receiving the member length intermediate the rails thereby being borne by the carriage member and displaceable along the member length intermediate the rails, the U-shaped flange-receiving portions of the spool interface units for receiving opposed, parallel spool flanges of a spool borne by the spool-bearing portion, the carriage member and spool interface units for providing line-guiding stop structure adjacent the spool flanges.
