Re-spooling mid-session is the fastest way to lose a fish. You hook into a hard-runner, the line frays or you want to drop down a class for finesse, and suddenly you are stripping a full reel of line on the bank while the bite window closes. A single spool forces a compromise: one line weight for every situation, every species, every venue you fish.
This machined aluminum spare spool turns one reel into two. Built to fit popular 8000-size spinning reels (approx. 77mm top flange, 39mm depth, 70mm inner diameter), it lets you keep one spool loaded with heavy braid for surf and carp and a second with mono or a lighter class for everyday casting. Pop one off, drop the other on, and you are fishing again in seconds. The deep, large-capacity body holds plenty of line for long casts and powerful runs.
The spool is CNC-machined from anodized aluminum with a smooth, line-friendly lip that lays wraps evenly and cuts wind knots. The hard anodized finish shrugs off salt spray, sand, and freshwater grime, so it stores clean between trips. A precision-cut drive seat and click-spring drag fitting keep the swap tight and rattle-free.
- Fits common 8000-size spinning reels — confirm your spool dimensions before ordering
- CNC-machined anodized aluminum body, corrosion-resistant for salt and freshwater
- Large line capacity: ideal for braid, mono, surf, carp, and big-water setups
- Smooth tapered lip for even line lay and longer, smoother casts
- Dimensions: ~77mm top flange, ~78mm base, ~39mm spool depth, ~70mm inner bore
- Tool-free swap — change line class or refresh line in seconds
- Click-spring drag seat for a secure, rattle-free fit
- Spare spool only; reel and line not included
How to use: 1) Loosen the drag knob and lift off your reel's stock spool. 2) Seat this spare spool onto the shaft until it clicks. 3) Retighten the drag and load your chosen line. Verify your reel's spool dimensions match before purchase.
What Verified Customers Say
I run two of these for my 8000 surf reel — one loaded with 30lb braid, one with mono leader setup. Being able to swap on the beach in under a minute instead of re-spooling has saved me more than once when a bluefish blitz showed up. Fit is snug and the line lays flat.
Carp angler here. I keep my main reel on 15lb and this spare on heavier braid for the snaggy swims. The anodizing has held up to a full season of riverbank mud and rain with zero corrosion. Wish it came with a little storage case but no complaints on the spool itself.
Bought this so my husband would stop borrowing my reel. Now he has his own line setup he can drop on. Machining is clean, no rough edges on the lip, casts just as smooth as the factory spool. Good value for what a name-brand spare would cost.
Took a chance since it's not the OEM brand, but it seated perfectly on my 8000 and clicked right into the drag spring. Capacity is huge — I packed on a ton of 40lb for shark fishing off the pier and still had room. Solid metal, no plastic feel.
Upgraded from a cheap plastic spare that warped after a hot summer in the truck. This aluminum one is a different league. Measure your reel first though — I checked the 77mm and 70mm numbers against mine before ordering and it dropped right in.
Great for big-water trips where I want to switch between braid and mono without carrying a second reel. Lip is smooth so I get fewer wind knots than my old spool. Lightweight but feels tough. Would buy another for my second reel.
