Super User 00 mod Posted September 25, 2015 Super User Posted September 25, 2015 Ok my Shimano peeps. I am looking for deep and/or wide Shimano replacement spools. Any low profile Shimano reel as I have most of them. Looking for spools that will hold 100+ yrds of 15-20lb line. I have several Curado 300es but would like to stick with 200 size reels if possible. Go! Jeff Quote
Cgrinder Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Yumeya deep spool for the '12 antares perhaps? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 25, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 25, 2015 My Antares is a dc....... Saw a deep spool for the 13 met, but it didn't look like it would hold enough. Jeff Quote
bootytrain Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Nothing currently from Shimano or Yumeya, you might be SOL on a spool. You may have to search for a Calais 200ASV Quote
Cgrinder Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like you need a '12 Antares. The deep spool supposedly holds 100m (110yds) of whatever the JDM standard for 20lb is. The '13 Met deep spool is 120 yds of JDM 16 lb. I think it's worth a shot if you can find one. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 25, 2015 Super User Posted September 25, 2015 I have the Calais 200 that should fit the bill. Let me know if you want to give it a go. Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted September 25, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 25, 2015 Just curious... what advantage do you gain with more line? These 2 reels will be for swimbaits. It will essentially be the same amount of line you would normally use on a baitcaster, just the line I use for swimbaits is thicker therefor needing a larger spool capacity. Jeff Quote
bassbassontherange Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks for the explanation! Quote
Stapsy Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 You could try contacting one of the Japanese shops. I asked Jun from Japan Tackle if there was a shallow spool for the Conquest 100 14. He recommended a spool and special ordered it for me from Avail. I wasn't able to find that spool listed online in English so there may be more deep options out there that we would never know about. 1 Quote

Super User Deleted account Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 Im pretty sure I have a few unused deep 200 spools for the old Calais somewhere in the pile. I never got used to using a LP reel in the salt, which is why I got them if I remember correctly. Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 I have a 200 series calais if that helps. I take it the curado I idea didn't work. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 26, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 26, 2015 Have not tried the curado I idea. That is in the plans for this afternoon. Just keeping options available. Jeff Quote
