The Orvis Spool typically refers to the replacement spool designed for Orvis fly reels. Orvis offers various spools that are compatible with their reel models, allowing anglers to switch between different fly lines quickly without needing multiple reels. Here are some key points about Orvis spools:

2. Material – Made from durable materials like machined aluminum or anodized aluminum for lightweight yet strong performance.
3. Drag System – Some spools integrate with the reel’s drag system (e.g., disc drag in higher-end models).
4. Color Options – Available in different finishes (black, silver, etc.) to match or contrast with the reel.
5. Pre-Loaded Options – Some spools come pre-spooled with backing and fly line (sold separately).
