Got at least 6 -50's to fill with braid, around 130# ish... Who or where has the best deal, or who has a spooler I could borrow for this project?? There may be a few more 50's involved and 2 80's... Any help is appreciated!

Buy bulk spool. Check on-line.

Yes check online BUT then give a sponsor shop an opportunity to match that price. Just initiate the conversation with a. the store owner and b. when the place is almost empty.
A reduced markup sale is better than no sale in my opinion.

For the record : the first thought was what was went with... Dave at the Reel Seat... As always, went with straight mono though...

Something else to consider... if you're spooling line especially that high lb test, you should have it professionally spooled by a local shop. They will properly spool it tightly so the line doesn't dig into the spool and lock up on you when you hook a big fish. You could purchase the line in bulk online and most shops will spool it for around $20bucks per reel. Or just purchase from them and since you're doing a bunch of reels, most likely they will offer you a good deal.
