Spare fly reel spools allow an angler to switch lines, change setups, and keep up with changing water conditions. Are you chasing multiple species in the salt? A spare spool will allow you to catch a Bonefish and quickly switch to a Permit fly line setup. Euro nymphing on a western river during a dry fly hatch? A spare spool will allow you to fish nymphs and switch over to a dry fly setup when the hatch picks up. Spare spools are a huge advantage for any angler in a multitude of fly-fishing scenarios. Here at Trident, we have a huge collection of spare spools from Orvis to Hatch and just about everything in between. Spare spools are purchased separately from a fly reel; choose your reel and reel size in a spare spool to get the proper substitutional fit.
