Ross Gunnison Gen 1 Spare spool
The Ross Gunnison Gen 1 spinning reel is a well-regarded model known for its durability and smooth performance, particularly in saltwater environments. If you’re looking for a spare spool for this reel, here are some options and tips:
1. Original Spare Spool (Best Option)
– Part Number: Check Ross Reels’ official documentation or contact their customer service for the exact spare spool part number for the Gunnison Gen 1.
– Availability: Since this is an older model, spare spools may be harder to find new. Try:
– Ross Reels Customer Service – They may have old stock or refurbished parts.
– Authorized Ross Dealers – Some shops may still carry spare parts.
– eBay / Fishing Forums – Used or NOS (New Old Stock) spools occasionally appear.
2. Aftermarket or Custom Spools
– Some machinists or specialty shops offer custom-made spools, but this can be expensive.
– Ensure compatibility with the Gen 1 model, as later versions (Gen 2, etc.) may have different dimensions.
3. Alternative Solutions
– If an exact spare isn’t available, consider:
– Buying a used Gunnison Gen 1 reel (often cheaper than a new spool).
– Checking with reel repair specialists (e.g., The Reel Fix, Southwestern Parts Co.).
4. Compatibility Note
– The Gunnison Gen 1 differs from later generations, so verify dimensions before purchasing any spare spool.
