...colloquially known as winders and grinders!
Been a fisherman for most of my 72 years and have never heard that. Must be a local phenomenon to Hooter Hollow.
Hah! I've heard "coffee grinder" used for spinning reels for years. Im not even sure why?
As to "winder and grinder", it may just be colloquial in my own head!
The term "coffee grinder" comes from what happens to a cheap saltwater spinning reel when you hook something big. The gears start chunking apart and when you wind you grind ... and it sounds like a hand operated coffee grinder.
This used happen on the half day boats out of San Diego when a school of yellowtail would breeze in.
