would like to buy 3 whiffle spools for 5500 abu reels any ideas where to find them
took a quick look around the net and couldn't find anything......... :-\
There is a 5600WS, a size 5500 ABU BC with a wiffle spool.
You should be able to buy the spool as a spare (#1105113) from Pure Fishing...?
5600 C4 special has also a wiffle spool. The part number is 1124697.
The prices seem to be ugly - e.g. 1105113 is $77.80 at mikes reel repair. ( I compare that to €95 that I yesterday paid for 5600 C4 special).
Wondering why they are so expensive ???
I would also like to buy a cuple of wiffle spools if price is reasonable...
I have been considering also custom made spools that can be found in UK. They are about £39 either standard or high capacity. They are about 30% lighter than originals.
They can be found at least at blakdogtackle - http://www.blakdogtackle.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_102&products_id=1210&osCsid=uasj0rj50i53qi1ru87agt4523.
I don't suppose anybody makes an aftermarket whiffle spool
Japan Tackle offer drilled spools for some Shimano, Daiwa and Abu reels - have a look under 'Tuning parts' here: http://www.japantackle.com/ (http://www.japantackle.com/)
A short article on drilled spools here (if it's of interest): http://www.japantackle.com/Topics/Drill_spool.htm (http://www.japantackle.com/Topics/Drill_spool.htm)
B-Trap appears to manufacturer them, but it's hard to find much detail - other than a forum mention here: http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboard/rods_reels/message.html?message_id=48980 (http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboard/rods_reels/message.html?message_id=48980)
A Fresno address for Japan Tackle is mentioned in the above post - might be worth a call...
Hope that's of some assistance.
