Long story short, the spool on my surf casting shark reel cracked and I cannot find a replacement anywhere online. I can get a whole new reel for $125 but obviously don't want to unless I have to. I just need a new spool. I'm still waiting to hear back from Daiwa customer service because I couldn't even find a replacement on their website. Anyone know where I could find it? Daiwa Sealine X50SHA

Another note, what made it crack I wonder? I've only had it 2 years, kept in a closet out of the sun and elements. It was spooled with 500 yards of #50 power pro and a topshot of 150 yards or so of #40 mono.

when I rebuilt my slsh's, I got all the parts from Buckos up in Mass. Call them, they probably have it in stock.

Order it straight from Daiwa, spools aren't very expensive

If you call, make sure its between 7 am and 5 pm pacific. I read the entire post, i also order parts from Daiwa weekly and have never had an issue. Matter of fact, I just got off the phone with them, the part number is: F78-8302 and it retails for $47.00 . Thanks for the kind words. Mikes reel repair has it for $64.92 plus shipping so buy from who you want.... Daiwa USA is 1-562-375-6800; press 3 for consumer parts and repairs.
