The Temple Fork Outfitters (TFO) NXT Black Label Spare Spool (1-3wt) is a replacement spool designed for the TFO NXT Black Label fly reel series. Here are the key details:
Specs & Features:
– Weight Range: Designed for 1-3 weight fly lines (ideal for light freshwater setups).
– Material: Durable anodized aluminum construction.
– Color: Typically black (matches the NXT Black Label reel aesthetics).
– Compatibility: Fits the TFO NXT Black Label reel (confirm model compatibility with your reel version).
– Drag System: Works with the reel’s disc drag system (if applicable).
– Spool Capacity: Holds standard WF or DT fly lines + backing for 1-3wt rods.
Use Cases:
– Backup Line Storage: Carry a spare line (e.g., floating + sinking) for quick changes.
– Travel/Backup: Useful if you damage your primary spool or need a spare for different fishing conditions.
– Lightweight Setup: Pairs well with small-stream trout or panfish rods.
Things to Verify:
1. Reel Compatibility: Double-check that your NXT Black Label reel model matches this spool (TFO updates designs occasionally).
2. Line Weight: Ensure your fly line matches the 1-3wt range to avoid overloading the spool.
3. Backing Capacity: If using heavy backing (e.g., for large trout), test fit before spooling.
Where to Buy:
