Spare Stradic Spools

[OutdoorDan]

Hi all,

 

I recently got a Ci 4 2500 and wanted a spare spool for it. I find it ridiculous that the reel doesn't come with a spare spool in the first place, but what can you do...

 

Anyone had any luck getting spare spools? I checked ebay but the only available options were from Japan or USA which converts to 35$ shipping.

 

Is is possible to get the directly from Shimano?

 

Thanks!

I have been told the C4s spools have been back-ordered for ever, as there are many looking for them as well

They are also sixty dollars a spool from what I've been told. The mgfb spool will work and much cheaper

If it's just as a back up

the regular stradic spool works fine on it

so I was told

I am going to buy one for mine

Think thats expensive, a Stella spool is double that then add 30 more bucks, theirs gold in them their spools

Yup, call them direct: 866-491-5229

 

I just ordered a spool from them for my Spirex. Came out to $28 or so with the $3 shipping charge, should arrive in a week to ten days.

Thanks, Dana!

 

As for the spare spools being expensive, yes, but it's still better than buying a new reel and I'm too used to having a spool of mono and braid for the same reel.
