Hi Mike
A guy on FB is selling three 55s with aluminum spools, he might be tempted to part with a couple of spools if he has back up standard ones. Another seller (USA) has one for £37 but won't ship to UK, if you know anyone over there it might be a possibility. Spoke to Mr Lush, who migrated down south because of the long harsh Yorkshire winters, he says hello by the way. He seems to think Gary Mills might only be interested if producing a batch. Nearly all my 54 spools have popped over the years, so I'm on the lookout for an aluminum one. I have a couple for my 55s and would be willing to swap one for a 54 aluminum spool. Superb reels but let down by the plastic spools.
