Shimano Curado 200/201 Spool Replacement Options?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Shimano Curado 200/201 Spool Replacement Options?

Post by Cagey » Thu Sep 18, 2014 1:39 am

Do any of you know if I can use any spools from other Shimano reels, or are there any after market replacements available?

You can use the spool from a citica 200/201 as well but it will come with a bushing behind the spool pin instead of a bearing so you will have to swap that out. The chronarch 200 b series i believe would work as well.

Also : http://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/112

looks like this would work as well is you want a nice light spool option...

The older B generation. Sorry for not including that info. I appreciate all the replies and information.

Original spools for those reels are not going to be easy to find, but they can be changed, the Castaic 200 SF spools are compatible with Curado/Chronarch reels from that generation and they should be available, the Castaic is not discontinued.

You can tell from the spool. The old B series is the only Curado with the bearing on the spool shaft.
