Shallow spool for President XT baitcaster?

Featured Replies

Does anybody have an idea which of the DIY spools fit this reel?  Most of what I'm seeing out there is for Daiwa and Abu reels.  To make a long story short, I bought this reel off of Craigslist but it is missing the spool and everything else is intact, paid a cool $15 for it.  I do have a President XT already and when I measured the spool shaft it shows 58mm, but the spools I see for the other Pure Fishing budget offerings run around 65mm in length.  I'm sure this reel is a just another clone from a SE Asian manufacturer and I can't find which other reels are like it.  The President XT is made in China, so that rules out the Doyo and Dawon style reels.  Any advice?

Remember of the opening on the frame is 34mm then you actually need a 33mm diameter spool to have .5mm clearance around the spool.

 

Honestly I would just pick up a BM3 shallow spool and see if it fits.  They are cheap and worse case scenario you must go pick up a BM3 or Slivermax to make use of it.

I measured the spool itself, not the opening.  I had an XT beforehand I could pull the measurements from.
