I have two less than a year old Curado 200E reels which did not come with spare spools.  I'd like to have spools with different size/strength/type of line on them and Shimano sure doesn't make it easy to find spare spools (probably as a marketing ploy to get you to buy more reels).  Does anyone know a good source for the spare spools?

Why would a casting reel come with a spare spool?   :-?

Spare spools can be purchased directly from Shimano USA.

BC reels don 't come with spare spools. You can get a spare from Shimano, check the schematics of the reel, the spool comes as spool assembly ( spool, bearing, VBS block ).

Thanks guys.
