where to buy tip up reels
« on: Aug 19, 2013, 03:38 PM »
Ive used the schooleys before, but due to their plastic construction, something on them always seems to break.  Is there anywhere that sells tip up reels?  I like to build my own, but its getting hard to find decent reels.  We used to get them from Herters.

I bought some parts from 40 Up Tackle and couldn't be happier with the quality, price, and customer service.  They sell metal tip up reels. Here's the link, hope it helps you out.

Heritage Laker sells replacement spools in both metal and plastic. Be sure to measure the diameter of the bolt the spool will revolve around the different manufacturers use different size diameter spools.

The metal spools on the 40up Hi Flag Senior and Junior are absolute junk.  They used to be galvanized and now they are cheap aluminum that bends easily, especially the tab that trips the flag.  I have broke a few of the tabs off and I am not one that is hard on equipment.  I would look at Heritage replacement spools.  I have 50 of the 40ups and 16 of them have the aluminum spool that are going to be replaced with the ones from Heritage.
