Is the line guided on by hand or other ways?

Haha, and filling the spool

Haha, and filling the spool on that reel is even simpler I would imagine

mount the spool inside the 2x black circular area's

which are basically wood circles covered with eva foam for compression absorption. And then put the spool of bulk line onto the silver rail on the outer edge of the board. Then simply spin up the spool from your reel using the power drill ( I modified the switch to go into a sewing machine foot pedal, that way it is still reversible to remove line and also it is still variable speed).

Feed the line evenly onto the spool as it spins at the desired rate similar to what they always do in the tackle stores anyway.
