Hypothetical question - MikeCC maybe?

[Bob Thomas]

I'm looking for a spare spool for my Abu Big Game 7000CL. I asked Hatteras jack at the show and they said I had to change gears and a bunch of other junk. I doubt that. Red Top had none. Anyone know where I can one?

[Big Dave]

Not sure who you spoke to? But any 7000 CL spool will fit.
Not all 7000 model reels are interchangable. Regards Big Dave

In order to change it with a regular 7000 you have to change the gears, bearings and spool because the spindle is a different size.
But I do have one.

Part of the reason for the confusion is that Abu Garcia, in their "infinite wisdom" decided to call the BG level wind a "7000CL" even tho it's really a "7500" series reel, meaning 5.3:1 retrieve.

Any 7500 series spool will fit a BG7000CL. Whether it's the silver BG, the black 7500 C3 or the gold 7200.

I.ll swear they try to confuse things on purpose!!
