I am not 100% sure but a Trinidad or Torium 50 spool may be the same. I'd call Shimano and verify.
The OJ's have the spool lock feature, and I am not sure how that works as far as the actual spool is concerned but it is worth a try.

Mayb I will call up the local dealer in singapore to get some ans. It is a chore wif such corrosion, almost wif many shimano reel tat I know. Thk.

Wander if there is anyway to patch it up n save me some cost!

just add a little grease.  that should slow it down.  once corrosion starts, you can never get rid of it. 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Am I able to get some metal filler, patch up the tiny hole, file it to smoothness and add some paint on it?

alantani

yes, but honestly some grease will do just as well......   :-\

Had a similar corrosion problem on a Trinidad spool. Cleaned the corrosion from around the hole and filled it with two pack epoxy (Araldite Rapid) smoothed off with a wet finger! ;)
Greased per Alan's recommendations and it's still good three years later.  ;D
