The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

A conversation with Nobby about a year ago regarding spare spools led him to advise me to "grab them when you can"
One appeared on the bay recently so I followed his instructions.
I thought that if spare spools are scarce, then the cases must be stored next to the hens teeth!

Well that's two cases I know of in the UK.......

There are these grey ones and clear plastic ones. The latter more brittle. The clear ones came with and without "screwing". So at least three versions of which I know of. Congratulations LuckyLuca. Is the spool itself out of plastic or metal? Metal ones are even rarer as they belong to the pre-330 version called 285. Looks like the plastic one from the pictures.
