My tips for replacing Johnson Magnetic #3 fly reel spool cap

Post by desertangler »

Hello Everyone,

I recently purchased a Johnson Magnetic #3 fly reel that was missing the spool cap. Replacements are impossible to find, so I fashioned one from a part at the hardware store and was very pleased with the result. If anyone needs the details just let me know.

Cheers,

George
