OutdoorDan Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 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!

esoxansteel Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have been told the C4s spools have been back-ordered for ever, as there are many looking for them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) They are also sixty dollars a spool from what I've been told. The mgfb spool will work and much cheaper Edited October 16, 2011 by scugog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited October 17, 2011 by Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorDan Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 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.
