Bob Marriots has them in their cataloge for $17.49. When buying reels
that cheap I consider buying two reels instead of a spare spool. If you
don't like it you can sell them easier and for more money than a reel
with
a
spare spool.

Even at higher prices, I recommend buying two reels instead of two spools.
If you drop your reel and bend it on a trip, it won't matter HOW many
spare
spools you have. I carry two reels, three spools.

Good points. The same thought had crossed my mind.
