  1. Nothing fishy about it… It’s called making money! I don’t have spools, but I have reels… nope, spools won’t interchange, but here is a new reel! It’s unfortunate, but I trust almost nobody these days, and absolutely nobody selling anything. They say anything, do anything to move inventory…
  2. I hate to say it, but I don’t trust this intel. SWE is in business to make money first and foremost. What is going to have more margins, a spool or a reel??? Not to mention I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Shimano spare spool in their store, but then again I was not looking either. Come to think of it, I don’t recall seeing too many if any shops stocking Shimano spools and I’ve been in many shops from TX, LA, FL up the coast to Maine…. So, until someone purchases one and test it and then provides objective evidence that it works or not, the jury is still out with me on this…. And keep in mind the last (first) generation of their “long stroke” reels from Ultegra thru Stella size for size the spools all interchange. And looking at the new versions they didn’t change much and the spool ODs and stroke lengths remain the same as the previous versions. So knowing that I’d bet the $50 for that new Stradic FM spool that the current generation will all interchange as well from size to size and with the previous generation. But a test needs conducted to validate.
  3. The guy is an absolute fish vacuum! I grew up in central PA, currently reside about 30 miles from State College and have finished the same waters he talks about in the vid since the late 70s when I started fly fishing with my grandfather as a kid. I have bumped into him a few times over the years, super nice guy!!! I can also confirm the waters in the area are phenomenal!!!! And yes, night time is the right time… The “Little J” is my favorite as it’s 15 min from the house. The vid is a typical evening sulphur hatch in full effect! Zoom in. The water boils is all I will say… IMG_3038.mov
