Looking for Line winder for a skiff. Electric? or motor? Kinda want electric cuz it will take up less room. I use a number 8 line with snoods. If you make'm or have on to sell please include pics and prices.

Thanks

bowmovment, your post on blue crab has a reply from islander saying that his would pull 1/4 in softlay, #8 is 1/4 in line and his puller should work.

I think the one Islander has would take some mod's to keep the snoods from wrapping around those line guides.

I was hoping to get some input on this. What type of mods?? Like a stiff plastic or ruber piece snaked around the guides to keep it from looping around them??? Thanks Guys!

Not quite that simple. With snoods you basically want the line getting pulled through a "chute". Enclosed leading to the sheeves and then drop out the other side into your container.
With sides and a lid the baits will not sling around, wrapping on things or getting mud in your eyes. If you search on BCA I think you will find that Seaweed took one of those winders and "modified" it and posted pics. He wound up going with a hydraulic, I think. The wiper motors on those winders are not very powerful.
