Spooling a Reel

I picked up a 1000 yard spool of Izor 50# from a wholesaler (just look one up, and show up there) for $25. Spooled four or five reels with it.

For top shots of PLine (expensive), I go to turners, and it is usually $5-$8 and I tie my own knots to save the $10 knot fee and have the confidence of fishing with my own knots.
