{"product_id":"redington-classic-spey-spare-spool","title":"Redington Classic Spey Spare Spool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Redington Classic Spey Spare Spool turns one reel into a two-line system. Anyone fishing a two-hander already knows the problem: one run wants a heavy Skagit head and a T-14 tip, the next wants a Scandi and a long mono leader, and re-rigging on the tailgate in February is nobody's idea of a good morning. A second spool loaded and ready means the swap takes under a minute, and it costs a fraction of a second complete reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the same classically ported, wide mid-arbor spool that ships in the Classic Spey reel, so it drops into the frame with the identical fit and the same exposed palming rim. The width is what makes the system work: there is room for a full shooting head, a hundred feet of running line and enough backing to matter, without the spool binding against the frame. The ports through the arbor let backing dry between trips rather than sitting wet under a fresh head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spool is anodized to match the reel, giving it the same hard, corrosion-resistant surface, and the same classically ported, traditional look. That matters more for a spare than for the reel itself, because spare spools spend their lives loose in a boat bag or a truck bed getting knocked against everything else in there. Rinse it after coastal days and it will stay presentable through many seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spool is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the same bar stock as the reel. Machining is what makes a spare spool worth owning: the tolerances between spool and frame stay tight enough that a thin running line cannot slip into the gap and jam, which is the failure mode that makes cheap cast spare spools more trouble than they are worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDrag\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e - The spool does not carry a drag of its own. The Classic Spey's adjustable triple-pawl system lives in the frame, so a swapped spool picks up exactly the same click, the same adjustment range and the same audible alarm you had on the spool you just pulled off. Nothing needs resetting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e - The gear the pawls engage is machined into the spool itself and runs against the reel's brass pawls. Brass against machined aluminum wears in smoothly and predictably, so a spare spool that spends a season in the bag still clicks correctly the first time you fish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMid arbor with a wide spool, matched exactly to the parent reel. That geometry is the reason a spey angler can carry a floating Scandi setup on one spool and a Skagit-and-tips setup on the other without either one running out of room for backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spare spool carries Redington's lifetime warranty to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Dents and damage from accidents or normal wear are repaired or replaced for a flat fee. As of 2026, claims go through Far Bank's customer service department with proof of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrying a second line system on a Classic Spey reel, trout spey through full spey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid arbor, wide spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\/5 at 3-3\/4 inch, 5\/6\/7 at 4 inch, 7\/8\/9 at 4-1\/4 inch, matched to the corresponding reel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC machined and anodized 6061-T6 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetrieve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convertible right or left hand, set by the reel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redington Classic Spey Fly Reel only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Redington","offers":[{"title":"3\/4\/5","offer_id":51589559386345,"sku":"SKU608895011042","price":187.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5\/6\/7","offer_id":51589559419113,"sku":"SKU608895011059","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7\/8\/9","offer_id":51589559451881,"sku":"SKU608895011066","price":212.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/redington-classic-spey-spare-spool","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
