Twinpower spool and handle fit the Vanford?

Might not be something you can check on yet; but I'd be curious if the twinpower spool and handle would fit a Vanford?

Hate red accents so trying to make them go away, lol.

Thanks Bantam.

On a similar note, I was wondering if the stradic FL spool and handle would fit on the Vanford?
Usually handles will fit with little issue but sometimes spool dont always play well on different reels.
I'm in the same boat - I'm tired of all these red accent reels. And rods.

The Stradic FL and Vanford spools and handles should interchange because they use similar tooling. The TP does not share tooling with these models. The handle may work, but the spool dimensions are slightly different. It may physically fit, but the oscillation is not tuned correctly on the other reels to work with that spool. It may lead to line lay issues. There is potential for the spool to contact the rotor as well since the rotors are shaped differently.

This thread helps me to ask if this Yumeya double handle I bought for my Stella 1000pgsFI can be mounted on a Vanquish FB C2000S that I am tempted to buy. Thanks.

As to spools, you can easily find those compatible with Vanfords here:

Haven't fished them but did spool on line and the TwinPower 1000 and 2500 spools fit on the Vanford C2000 and 2500.

I wish there was a 2000 non-shallow TwinPower 2000 spool.

I love the Shimano 2000 size reel/spool. The Twinpower 1000 handle fits on the 2000 Vanford but it's 5mm shorter.

So I have a TwinPower 1000 CI4+ and 2500 CI4+ now lol.

Was going to wait for the new Excense but its looking like late August for in stock. Can't find any reels in stock really these days.

The spool may physically fit, but the line lay may not be correct due to slight dimension changes. Keep an eye on it as you may need to adjust the shims to correct for it.

Here are lists of compatible spools for both 20 Vanford C2000 and 2500 sizes
