Echo Bravo Spare Spool
An extra spool for the Echo Bravo Fly Reel. Carry a second line setup so you're ready when the fishing changes. Drop your floating line on the reel, your sink tip on the spare, and swap in seconds when the tide turns or the fish move deeper. For saltwater anglers fishing flats, surf, or offshore, a spare spool isn't a luxury — it's how you fish more water in a single day. This listing is for the spare spool only.
Why Saltwater Anglers Carry a Spare Spool
On the flats, conditions change fast. A bonefish setup needs a floating line in the morning when fish are tailing in shallow water. By afternoon you might want an intermediate to reach permit cruising deeper. For tarpon, you might rotate between an intermediate, a sink tip, and a full sinking line in a single tide cycle. A spare spool lets you switch lines in the time it takes to pop the spool — without packing a second reel and without breaking down rigs in the boat.
For freshwater big-game anglers, the same logic applies. Pre-rig a floating line for swing fishing in the morning and a sink tip for the afternoon. One reel, two complete setups.
Same PIT STOP Compatibility
The Bravo Spare Spool is fully compatible with the PIT STOP drag system on the parent reel. Tool-free access means swapping spools takes seconds — pop the old one off, drop the new one on, you're fishing. No hardware to lose, no torx bits to dig out of your boat bag.
Same Build as the Parent Reel
The Bravo Spare Spool retains the same extra-large arbor design and V-shaped spool geometry as the parent reel — generous backing capacity packed into a compact footprint. Precision cast from solid aluminum alloy with the same matte black finish for a clean, consistent look across both spools.
Available Sizes
The Bravo Spare Spool is available in three sizes matching the full Bravo reel lineup, from 7/9 weight for bonefish and redfish setups up through 10/12 weight for tarpon and big game.

Important Notes
- This listing is for the spare spool only. The reel frame is sold separately.

- Like the parent reel, rinse the spool with fresh water after each saltwater day. The PIT STOP design makes this simple.
