I don't know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but
maybe you can reduce the overall effort by using a ready-
made spool for one of the commercial reels.


I am not sure what you mean.

Assuming you mistyped something or other; There are no commercial spools
available in titanium, most are magnesium alloy. The carbon fibre spools
are not modifiable to my liking. The commercial cages available are
expensive, and also not easily modifiable.

My ideas for the cage etc, would preclude the use of such a spool or cage,
even if they were available.

I could simply buy some expensive reel or other, and it would doubtless be
adequate for the job, but that is not what I want to do. I want to try out
some ideas, and still have a usable reel at the end.
