I bought a Shimano Stradic 5000fj for salt and fresh water use. The reel is great and I love it. Looking for a spare spool on fleabay and was shocked to see I could do no better than $70. Is that the going rate for these or do I not know where to look?

If the spare spool is 70 bucks I'll take the line off and use it again (Powerbraid).

I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill
