Title: Spool Case
Post by: Jay Burgess on May 19, 2011, 09:46:28 PM

Just wondering what everyone uses to keep their spare spools in? After a nice case that can fit a few spools in the Shimano 8000-20000 range.

I have the Shimano one, it serves well.  But I did see an identical Bass Pro case, of course with different logos

JDM says the Large Shimano one suits 10000-16000 size spools, anyone tried it with 18000 - 20000 size?

I use neoprene beer bottle insulator for my medium sized spools , not sure 20000FA spool will fit though but any smaller spool will fit just nice . Once in the fishing location , the insulator will go back to it's intended duty , keeping the Bintangs from going warm too fast .

I'm with Jon, they do the job nicely and being stretch Neoprene will handle FA Spools.
