A fishing line re-winding device includes a handle and a crank is connected to an end of the handle. The crank has a section that is perpendicular to the handle so that a mandrel of fishing line can be mounted to the section. An end member is mounted to the section to urge the mandrel in position. The reel is engaged with the handle and the fishing line is connected to the reel so that the fishing line is wound to the reel by rotating the crank handle of the reel.
