Custom Reel Spooling
Get your reel professionally spooled for the cost of the line only. Choose from two options for straight braid spooling:
-
Order the required braid from our Braided Line Per-Yard page (we’ll refund any overage).
-
Contact us with your spool specs, and we’ll guide you on the exact braid quantity to order.
If your braid order doesn't fully fill the spool, we’ll back it with the appropriate sized line at no extra cost. For custom spooling big game reels with leaders, knots, crimps, or splices, contact us—if you can dream it, we can rig it!
