Strip Old Line in Seconds, Not Minutes

Hand-cranking old line off a reel is one of the most tedious maintenance tasks in fishing. The Rapala RCLR eliminates it. Clamp the device to your line and hit the button. Six feet per second means a 300-yard spool empties in about two and a half minutes.

This tool is especially useful for king mackerel and white marlin setups where you run through line regularly. It handles braid and mono up to 100lb test, covering the vast majority of reel spooling situations.

6 Feet Per Second Removal Speed

The battery-powered motor pulls line at a consistent 6 feet per second. That is fast enough to strip a conventional reel spool in minutes without any hand cranking or tedious wrapping.

Handles Braid and Mono

Works with braided line and monofilament up to 100lb test. Whether you are swapping out old braid or removing mono backing, one tool covers both materials.

Compact Handheld Design

The RCLR fits in one hand and stores easily in a tackle bag or drawer. Uses 2 AAA batteries for a cordless, portable design that works at home or on the boat.

How to Use the Rapala Compact Line Remover

1. Install 2 AAA batteries into the line remover

2. Thread the old line from your reel through the line guide

3. Hold the RCLR in one hand and press the activation button

4. The motor strips line at 6 feet per second into a waste pile

5. Continue until the spool is empty or you reach the backing

6. Discard old line responsibly and respool with fresh line

What types of line can this remove? +
Braided line and monofilament up to 100lb test. It handles the most common respooling scenarios. Check our fishing line guide for more about line types.
Does it include batteries? +
No. It uses 2 AAA batteries, sold separately. Standard alkaline batteries work fine. Keep spares in your tackle bag.
How fast does it strip line? +
Six feet per second. A typical 300-yard spool takes about two and a half minutes to empty completely.
Can I use this to spool line onto a reel? +
No. This is a removal tool only. For measuring line when respooling, the Rapala Digital Line Counter tracks exactly how much line goes back on.
Is this good for stripping braid? +
Yes. It handles braid up to 100lb test. Braid is thinner diameter than mono at the same test weight, so spools with braid may empty even faster.
What other Rapala tools pair well with this? +
The Digital Line Counter for measuring new line, the Performance Tool Combo for general tasks, and the Fishing Clipper for trimming. See our full tools collection.
