I used to have a similar one, forgot about it's brand, maybe Berkeley. The issue is that it needs to clip on the fishing rod in order to make it work. With the limited hole diameters it has, in most cases I ended up having the hole bigger than my rod's diameter and hence the whole thing rubs against the line guide below it, which ended with rod paint chips and line guide dents. I ended up only use it on the butt section of a broken rod. Another limitation is that it only works for small filler spools (those 150yd / 300 yd ones). Once I moved to only buying those cheaper and bigger 1/2 and 1 lbs bulk lines (those typical 1500+ yards large spools), this thing became useless.
