I made a device to transfer line from one reel to another. It's basically made from two old broken/unused rods which I cut down so each had about a foot of rod left above the reel seat and grip. I then slid one inside the other and secured them with electrical tape (had no epoxy handy at the time), so it's about three feet long with two reel seats facing each other. Then you just put a reel in each seat and use the the drag on the reel the line is coming off to control the tension as you reel it onto the other. I also have an old Abu 6000C that I use to wind spare line onto or to help in reversing line to put back on the original reel. It was easy to make and saves lots of headaches.
