shimano mg dc7 spool upgrade

[manansalsa]

i’m looking to upgrade my spool on my shimano mg dc7 in order to hold more line. is this a good idea or will it effect the dc brakes? and where would i be able to find an upgrade?

Welcome to the forum.

 

I am going to guess this is for the Metanium MG DC7.  I would personally leave it alone and I don't think there is one available.  The control that fits on the spool would have to fit the new spool.  I am also guessing that the DC function is based on weight of the spool and the amount of torque.  If you change those beyond a certain range, it will not function properly. One other thing too, would be the cost.  You are probably looking at $100+.  A new stock one from Plat is about $80.  Most new reels average about 120 yards or less of 12lb line,  the Metanium MG DC7 I think holds 120y/12lb.  There is not much you can't do with that amount of line on a bass reel, except some serious trolling in deep water.   If that that's the case,  a different type of reel may be a better choice.
