Reel Repair by Alan Tani

This is the second one of these spools that I have seen in 20+ years.  It is machined out of a solid billet of aluminum and I would guess that it's virtually indestructible.  It has a very large arbor but will still probably hold 200 yards of 30 lb. Spectra.  It is in near mint condition and tested to spin true.

$67 plus $7 shipping to anywhere in the USA. ($10 less than Tiburon currently charges for a standard 501 spool).

We like to use Zelle, but if you don't, Venmo and PayPal work too.

Need this like I need another hole in the head, but I'll take it Randy!

I'll PM you later when the boss gets home to send payment.

Thanks,

Steve

Thank you Steve!  It's an interesting piece.  If ever find out the story behind it I would love to know about it.

I will have it on its way tomorrow and will send you the tracking information as soon as I print the shipping label.

Thanks again,

Randy

No problem Steve.  PM sent.

I know it's already sold. But I'm really curious how the weight compares to the normal 501 spool.

I'll let you know Jason!

It's billet which is cool!

The stock Penn aluminum 29L-501 weighs 2.9 oz.  The billet aluminum spool weighs 4.9 oz.
