    I think your confused about carbon and graphite. Graphite is a type of elemental carbon and industrial carbon fibers are made of graphite. Graphite is not a cheaper version. The strength of a reel made of graphite will be stronger than aluminum if the graphite is manufactured in long sheets or ribbons. This is what some of the marketing campaigns have tried to differentiate as "carbon fiber". If manufactured poorly, the graphite reel will contain mostly epoxy or the graphite will have the structure of a pencil.
