Echo Ion Spare Spool
An extra spool for the Echo Ion Fly Reel. Pre-rig a second line setup so you're ready when conditions change without packing a second reel. The Ion Spare Spool drops into your existing Ion frame and gives you a quick way to swap from a floating line to a sink tip, from a dry line to a nymph rig, or from a trout setup to a heavier line for streamers. This listing is for the spare spool only.
Why Carry a Spare Spool
A second spool turns one Ion reel into two complete setups. Pre-rig with different line types so you can swap in seconds when the fishing changes. Floating line on the reel, sink tip on the spare. Dry line in the morning, streamers in the afternoon. When water conditions shift or the hatch comes off, you change the spool and keep fishing instead of breaking down rigs streamside.
Same Build Quality as the Parent Reel
The Ion Spare Spool retains the same large arbor design and durable cast aluminum alloy construction found in the Ion reel. The large arbor speeds line pickup and reduces line memory, while the matte black anodized finish matches the parent reel and stands up to long days on the water. Stainless steel internal components keep the spool running smoothly.
Available Sizes
The Ion Spare Spool is available in six sizes matching the full Echo Ion lineup, from 2/3 weight for small stream trout up through 10/12 weight for two-handed spey and big-game fly lines.
