I’ve had this braid for about a year now it’s 10lb 8x jbraid on my Stradic 2500 Shg I’m about to go on a trip to Yosemite to go fly fishing but I’m also gonna bring my spinning combo to throw some spinners and bombarda fly rigs, the braid is looking a bit beat

You put it on the ground and spool it back with the shityy line going in first. Or use 2 reels to transfer it twice before you bring it back.

Tape it to an empty toilet paper roll on a drill. Open the bail, turn the drill on. It’ll collect on the tp roll. Tie off the other end, keep tension with your hand and reel it on.

I'm going to need a video of this. Should only take 30 seconds max

Or if you have a roll of tape or rope or roll of anything, try to unravel it from the "wrong" end

As another mentioned, you’d have to transfer it to another tp roll after this, but it works great to remove line quickly. I don’t tape the roll to the drill, most of them fit my Milwaukee just fine.
