daiwa spool

[marvin1080]

so i recently picked up a luvias 2506 spooled with 18lb sunline castaway to chase jewies snapper etc. and since its such a good reel i would like to get another spool with maybe 8-10lb for throwing smaller blades & stuff.
the only spools i can find are those custom RCS spools that cost $125 dollars and im thinking by the time i buy that spool and braid i may as well have brought a whole new reel.
been checking classifieds here & elsewhere with no luck, has anyone found a cheaper alternative?

I'm not sure what spools match up with the new luvias, but you could look for a 2500 spool to run the heavier braid, and then put the light stuff on the original 2506 spool. You'd have more chance finding a cheap secondhand spool in the straight up 2500 size.

The original 2506 spool is only 3kg drag and designed for finesse style fishing so 18lb braid seems a bit like over kill. I'd look for a 2508 RCS spool to use on it with that line, it's got 7kg drag so that will give you basically 2 reels depending on what spool you are using at the time.
