aftermarket magnesium baitcaster spools
Does anyone make and sell aftermarket magnesium spools for some of the more popular baitcasters?

There are a couple of Japanese companies that have produced/still produce MG spools.Avail,ZPI are the two main ones that come to mind.

i dont think Avail ever had an Mg spool? Avail, Hedgehog, KTF spools are all duralumin... though i do like how Avail offers titanium spool shafts in some models for further weight reduction!africanbass wrote:There are a couple of Japanese companies that have produced/still produce MG spools.Avail,ZPI are the two main ones that come to mind.

and besides ZPI, there's a small outfit called Yumeya that offers a couple of Mg spools, as does their parent company

africanbass,
I went to the site, but it's in what I think is Japanese.
Is there a translate tab?

Google chrome will translate. If you're using Internet Explorer, download the google toolbar and it has a translate button.
Also, see japantackle.com, it's a japanese site that caters to us westerners who like the japanese products, and also one of the only ways you can get those aftermarket spools shipped to the USA.
