Metanium 13 and Chronarch CI4+ spools compatible

Post by Loafer » Fri Nov 20, 2015 9:43 pm

Hello!
I know that Chronarch Ci4+ spool fits in Metanium 13. But someone use that opportunity for fishing? Asking because i'm afraid that in use i can damage the reel or spool. Or all be ok?
Thanx for attention!
Have a nice day! :big grin:

Problem with hedgehog's spool is that it has not SVS infinity block. And if i'll buy it i cant use two spool same time. For example, one spool with line, another with fluorocarbon.

Theres a thread where 21Farms swaps the spool out, If I remember correctly the metanium spool has a ridge on the spool shaft that prevents it from fully fitting in the Chronarch.. I could be wrong but try to search the thread. I has to be around when the Chronarch was released.

A lot of Shimano spools (100 or 200 size) can fit in other models BUT I would not do that cuz Shimano designs the spool for each model with a specific reason. You can ask Dan (aka Bantam1).
Spool can fit but it will defeat the original functions of the reel.
