carrying spare baitcaster spools
Re: carrying spare baitcaster spools
I carry a few extra reels. It can get a little complicated because I use LH and RH reels, and the spools generally look similar with line on them.
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

It's the direction the line is on the spool.TommyG wrote:I'm a lefty, I always wondered what was the difference between a LH spool and a RH spoolzodiak311 wrote:I carry a few extra reels.

Re: carrying spare baitcaster spools
I fish from the bank and normally only use one setup per trip.
I have extra spools at home and decide before I go fishing whether to use one spool or another (shallow/deep, mono or braid). Some times I carry extra spools with me (e.g. a DIY spool in a plastic case), however, mostly I bring an extra reel with a different line or different braking system.

Gotcha, Thanks, never really thought about it, but sure, if you flip the spool around the line will come off the bottom of the spool. That's why I like TT!!zodiak311 wrote:It's the direction the line is on the spool.TommyG wrote:I'm a lefty, I always wondered what was the difference between a LH spool and a RH spoolzodiak311 wrote:I carry a few extra reels.

I have a Plano box that I keep a couple spare reels, spools, bearings, etc in. If I'm going on vacation, I take it with me. For day trips, I leave it at home.

Re: carrying spare baitcaster spools
You can fit 3 or 4 spools in a hard glasses case. Add some packing material and they won't move around. Works well for me.
Re: carrying spare baitcaster spools
I carry two, one is for my jig setup so I can swap between braid or fluoro depending on the conditions, and the other is for my smaller swimbait setup so I can change between copoly and braid depending on the lure I'm fishing.
Re: carrying spare baitcaster spools
you can fit 12 BC spools in a 3600. they wont move around if you keep them in the bubble wrap they come in. never take them on the water though.
