Shimano 500 spool compatibility
I’d like to have a deeper spool for either my Soare BB 500spg or my Soare XR 500spg.
I was looking at the Vanford 500 spool and was wondering if it would work on either of my reels .
Why you ask ?
In the fall and winter I sometimes hook into a nice size spotted bass or a hybrid striped bass .
Fishing from shore I think I might need the extra line when using 2# line .
I caught a decent size hybrid last year while using a Daiwa Fuego that even with backing , I had a couple hundred yards of 2# line on it .
If I’d been using one of my 500 JDM Shimano reels , I think it would have spooled me .
I’m not even sure my Daiwa Presso LT 1000 would hold enough line .
Fishing from a boat , I wouldn’t worry , I could chase one with the trolling motor .
From the shore , I have to loosen the drag and let the rod wear it down .
