Spare spools

Andrew Poulos:
Hi all,

Im looking at getting a spare spool for my dogfighter, and stumbled across some other after market ones called Studio Ocean Mark. Has anyone ever seen in these in person - what are they like quality wise?

cheers

Brandon Khoo:
Andrew, I understand they are of a pretty decent quality but do not have the same drag capacity of the OEM spools. Dogfight spools are expensive!!

Andrew Poulos:
Yeah, the DF ones arent exactly cheap, but neither was the reel so I didnt want to get anything dodgy. Neil has provided me the cost and its good for me. From what I read the aftermarket ones are rated to about 18kg of drag. I just need a spare for some 80lb.....

Brandon Khoo:
Andrew - for the difference in price, go for the OEM spool.

Andrew Poulos:
Yeah, price wise there isnt much in it at all. I will end up getting the original, but some of the aftermarket stuff looks nice....I seem to be getting too much in to the bling lately - and not enough fishing !
