Galvan Brookie Spare Spool — Made in USA
Extra spool for the Galvan Brookie Fly Reel. This listing is for the spare spool only. The spool is fully compatible with all Galvan Brookie reels in the matching size and lets you carry a second line setup without packing a second reel. Switch from a floating line to a sink tip in seconds. It's the simplest way to expand the versatility of one of the lightest fully machined American-made reels available.
Why Carry a Spare Spool
A second spool turns one Brookie reel into two complete setups. Pre-rig with different line weights or different line types so you're ready for changing conditions without breaking down rigs streamside. Floating line on the reel, sink tip on the spare. Dry line on one, nymph line on the other. When the hatch changes or the water level drops, you swap the spool in seconds and keep fishing.
The Click-Ball Tension System
The Brookie Spare Spool retains the same Click-Ball Tension System as the reel, a foolproof departure from traditional click-and-pawl designs. Customizable spool tension with minimal moving parts strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and versatility. Achieving your desired level of resistance is as simple as a few turns of an Allen wrench, leaving you to enjoy impeccable line retrieve without worrying about adjusting your drag.
Lightweight, Bulletproof Construction
Like the reel, the Brookie Spare Spool features distinct porting and a weatherproof finish. The precision machining process eliminates virtually all excess weight, and the 6061 bar stock aluminum construction provides a spool that is as bulletproof as it is light. Every element is built to ensure a lifetime of use and performance that won't be compromised by long days on the water.
Available Sizes & Colors
The Brookie Spare Spool is available in four sizes covering 0 through 5 weight lines and five color options to match your reel or mix it up.

Important Notes

This listing is for the spare spool only. The reel frame is sold separately.
-
Match the size to your existing Brookie reel for proper fit (a 4/5 WT spool fits a 4/5 WT Brookie reel).
- You can mix colors to easily distinguish between line setups (e.g., Black for floating, Blue for sink tip).
