TFO Dispatch Spare Spool provides anglers with the ultimate versatility on the water, allowing for rapid changes between floating, sinking, or intermediate lines without the need to carry a second reel. Designed to integrate perfectly with the TFO Dispatch reel series, this spool is an essential accessory for fishermen who encounter changing conditions or target multiple species in a single day. It offers the same robust construction and value-driven performance as the original equipment, making it a smart investment for both novice anglers building their kit and seasoned pros looking for a reliable backup system.

Design
The spool features a modern, open-frame design that utilizes a large arbor to maximize line retrieval rates. Constructed using a die-cast process, it achieves a complex geometry that balances structural rigidity with significant weight reduction. The heavy porting throughout the spool face not only looks sharp but aids in drying out backing and fly line after a long day on the water.
Finish
Coated with a durable matte black finish, the spool is designed to minimize glare and reflection, which is critical when stalking spooky fish in clear water. This finish provides a layer of corrosion resistance, making it capable of handling freshwater environments and occasional light saltwater use when rinsed properly after exposure.
Materials
TFO utilizes precision die-cast aluminum for the construction of this spool. This material choice allows for a lightweight profile without the high cost associated with fully machined aluminum. The aluminum is rigid enough to withstand the pressure of a fully compressed drag and the torque of fighting fish, ensuring the spool maintains its shape and integrity over time.
Drag
Type: The spool is engineered to seat perfectly over the Dispatch reel's sealed drag hub. While the drag mechanism is housed in the frame, the spool's internal hub is keyed to engage smoothly with the system, ensuring zero slip or wobble during operation.
Materials: The compatible drag system utilizes a carbon fiber and stainless steel stack. This combination provides low start-up inertia to protect fine tippets and offers consistent heat dissipation during prolonged runs.
Arbor Size
This is a Large Arbor spool. The increased diameter facilitates faster line pickup, which is crucial when a fish turns and swims toward the angler. Additionally, the larger circumference significantly reduces line memory, resulting in fewer coils and straighter presentations.
Warranty
TFO offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner. As of January 2021, this warranty service requires a repair and shipping fee to cover the inspection and processing of the return.
