Spool

Do you get a problem with corrosion where the anodizing has been drilled thru and the raw aluminum has been exposed. If these reels are used by a lot of fisherman maybe a good aftermarket item would be a spool that has been drilled and anodized or a good quality plastic, delrin or glass- filled delrin, very strong, or even better a titanium spool. I am a machinist in the oceanagraphic industry and am always looking for fishing products to make. Interested in opinions. If someone has a spool for these reels hanging around and wants to send it to me so I can speck it out and see if feasible I am up for it. PM me. Maybe there is no demand for this or maybe the spools are so cheap that you can just buy new ones when they corrode. Always said I wanted to make a complete titanium reel. Would be expensive but some fisherman would remortgage their home for anything associated with fishing. Not looking to make a lot of money here maybe trade for some fishing related stuff, like I need more fishing stuff. P.M.
