Hi all

Been looking for a third reel to go with a set of 2 I've had for years, which are now being passed onto my dad, but seemingly they are pretty rare..

Have come across two for sale, but in spool size 7000 rather than 8000. Would the actual body of reel be any smaller, or is it simply the amount of line it can hold? Do not want to buy them and then one reel is slightly smaller than the other 2

Reels in question are the Shimano Navi XSB

The reel body is identical and the 7000 spool is shallower and usually made from lighter plastic.

Ok great. Looks like the main spool is made from the same material as the two I have, then the spare spool is a lighter plastic material
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
