I have managed to borrow a Emblem-Z 5500A spool I'm pretty sure the spool dimensions are correct. If I model a prototype on this spool would I be able to ship it to you when its done to confirm and you get a free reducer

I completley missed your reply and I've just stumbled across this thread searching the net for spool reducers...again
Did you take it any further?

It's been a long time coming but I though I'd share this. Ross @ Krakken Tackle has made me some reducers for my Daiwa Infinity X 5500BR reels. They take the capacity of 0.37mm line down to 220m which is perfect for me. I also have another set of spools loaded with 0.35mm Spiderwire Dura Core and the 150m spool fits perfectly. This braid takes up more space than round line and you don't want the spool too full.

Ross has been a star throughout, very easy to work with. I paid for all my spools including the prototype, the reason for posting this is that it may help others who'd like a spool reducer for this reel, I do not receive anything for it.

EDIT, available in black or hi viz green as standard. (or is it chartreuse)
