Recommendation for Large, deep winders?

I have lots of line sets and several almost fall off the winder because the winder in not cut out enough to hold 120 feet othine line.

I bought a winder from Gomberg but it still was not deep enough to hold the strings. The issue is that no matter how tight I wind the strings, by the time I get to the end, the string have filled the winder and easily fall off.

Have you found winders that are big enough to hold 120 ft lines "comfortably"? Where?

120 Feet of what weight line?

Heavier weight line will mean you can store less of it on a given winder due to increased diameter or the line.

Which GKPI winders were you using?

I am using the Lazer Pro winders. Since I have many dual and quad kites they are plentiful.

When I wind the 25m four line Power Kite lines it fills the entire winder and falls off.

I use velcro to hold it in place. Plus, I know I can wind just the Power and just the Brakes...

I'd like to get all four on the same winder.

Tomorrow, I will try to post some pics of the various winders I use.

Extension Cord Winder

I use the 97 cent extension cord winders and trim the tips a bit. Can wind 25M in about 30 seconds or less...
