Title: Mariner 49L Spools Questions
Post by: MACflyer on August 02, 2026, 07:45:53 PM
Looking for a 49L and have seen some with what looks like black plastic spools, 3 piece chrome plated spools, stainless? spools, and black aluminum spools. 49L should have an aluminum spool I believe. Are the aluminum spools only black? Saw one with a brushed silver look. Is that stainless? Thanks!

All of the 29L-49 spools I have seen were black.

Found and bought one with the black aluminum spool. There's quite a few out there with the plastic spools that look very close in pics. Probably put a 24-56 handle on it. Thanks again Lee for the great suggestion!
