Orvis Hydros Spare Spool

Built specifically for the updated Orvis Hydros Fly Reel, the Hydros Spare Spool gives anglers the freedom to adapt to changing conditions without carrying multiple reels. Whether you're swapping from a floating line to a sink tip for deeper runs, changing to a full sinking line for lakes, or keeping different line weights rigged and ready for separate techniques, an extra spool lets you make the transition in seconds. It's an easy way to expand the versatility of your Hydros while saving time on the water, allowing you to focus on fishing instead of re-rigging.

Design
Purpose-Built Interchangeable Platform – Designed exclusively for the updated Hydros Fly Reel, this spare spool installs quickly and securely while maintaining the same smooth performance and precise fit as the factory spool. The larger arbor design delivers fast line pickup and excellent line management, making it easy to switch between multiple fly line setups throughout the day.

Finish
Type II Anodized Finish – Finished with the same durable Type II anodizing as the Hydros reel, the spare spool resists corrosion, scratches, and everyday wear while maintaining a clean, factory-matched appearance.

Materials
Machined Aluminum Construction – Precision-machined from lightweight aluminum, the Hydros Spare Spool offers an excellent balance of strength, durability, and low overall weight. Built to the same quality standards as the original spool, it provides dependable performance season after season.

Arbor Size
Large Arbor – The large arbor design promotes rapid line retrieval, reduces line memory, and encourages clean, even line stacking. Whether carrying a floating line, sink tip, or full sinking setup, the large arbor helps maximize efficiency while minimizing time spent managing line.
