At a Glance: Fly Fishing Rod & Reel Accessories

FishUSA offers fly reel spare spools from Greys, Orvis, Redington, Sage, Ross, Waterworks-Lamson, and other major brands, providing ones for most of the reels we stock if spares are available from the manufacturer. All spare spools are made from aluminum or die-cast or CNC machined from bar stock. Many display extensive porting, removing excess aluminum during machining to reduce the reel's weight. Almost all are anodized for corrosion resistance and can be among the most important pieces of fly fishing gear you own.

The advantage of having spare spools is that you can purchase an extra spool or fly line(s) for less than an additional reel. If you have a 4-5 weight-sized reel and corresponding fly rods, you only need a spool and the line to use the reel on both rods. Additionally, a spare does away with the need to carry extra reels to meet changing conditions during the day. With two spare spools, you could have a floating, sink tip, or a specialty line and can quickly swap them to meet water conditions. For example, say your trout fishing streamers on a sink tip line in the morning, then a hatch starts, and you want to switch to a floating line to cast dry flies. All you have to do is remove the spool with the sink tip from the reel and replace it with the spare spooled with the floating line. You're fishing dries in minutes!
