Storing spare spools
What do you store your spare spools in? I wish I had a handful of the Daiwa tubes but I'm not sure if/where to get them. Ideas? Right now, they're rolling around in separate sections of a tackle tray but I'd like to protect them a little more, all without having to use something big and bulky (ZPI spool box). Thanks!

I use a tackle tray as well, but line the bottom with thin foam, so the spools aren't rattling around.adam lancia wrote:What do you store your spare spools in?

Here you go, Adam. The very first listed, 40S, is for 100 class short shaft spools. I've got several, they're perfect.
Long shaft spools go with 40L. Peace, brother.

That's perfect, thanks Scott!
zodiak, I'll probably do that until I can order those tubes, thanks!

Unfortunately (fortunately...?) I don't have the need for big prescription bottles yet. Good idea though, I'll keep it in mind though, thanks.fishingandfords wrote:Large prescription bottles

Re: Storing spare spools
If you have access to some industrial drill bit supplier , you can buy some off them , drill bits for mag drills come in this type of tube like HH sells , I'm sure they are quite cheaper too from those guys ...

Re: Storing spare spools
That's phenomenal advice! My uncle's have a machine ship, I'm fairly certain one of their tool suppliers would have these. Thanks!!!Hype wrote:If you have access to some industrial drill bit supplier , you can buy some off them , drill bits for mag drills come in this type of tube like HH sells , I'm sure they are quite cheaper too from those guys ...

Re: Storing spare spools
Yup, i get them all the time from our industrial supplier. Trick is finding the right size.Hype wrote:If you have access to some industrial drill bit supplier , you can buy some off them , drill bits for mag drills come in this type of tube like HH sells , I'm sure they are quite cheaper too from those guys ...

Re: Storing spare spools
I think I have found something similar and much less expensive. I just need to know how long the shaft on a daiwa spool is now, but I not home to measure it myself. Can some lend a hand (vernier/micrometer)? Thanks in advance!Teal101 wrote:Yup, i get them all the time from our industrial supplier.

Re: Storing spare spools
I saw those but I think they'll be too big to fit into a regular tackle tray. I found these instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L4I7B ... UTF8&psc=1 They'll be long enough to leave some room for foam at each end to give a little cushioning too.uljersey wrote:C'mon guys ... $7.00 for one spool case from hedgehog ?
