Lamson Purist II Spare Spool
Lamson Purist II Spare Spool is a premium replacement spool designed to extend the versatility of the ULA Purist II fly reel. Tailored for anglers who demand flexibility, it solves the problem of on-the-fly line changes by letting you preload spare line. This lightweight, robust spool is a compelling choice for serious fly fishers and guides who value performance and convenience, whether it’s a backup for an all-day mission or a high-speed line swap for targeting specific species.
Design
The spare spool is fully machined from aerospace-grade aluminum with a super-large arbor, matching the ULA Purist II’s rapid line pickup. It features precision venting holes and a concave hub design to reduce weight and improve line lay. The single-piece spool interface is engineered for smooth engagement with the frame, and the layout minimizes parts (just a clicker pawl and screw) for consistent function. Every design choice, from the oversized arbor to the skeletal cutouts, is performance-driven to keep the spool light and eliminate excess bulk.
Finish
Each spool is finished with a hard-coat anodization in striking colors like Tribute or Whiskey, providing both a premium look and superior corrosion resistance. The durable coating holds up to freshwater or saltwater use, so the spool won’t pit or fade after long days on the water. The crisp, polished edges and rich anodized tones make inspection easy and give this spare spool a distinctive, modern appearance while also shrugging off abrasion and corrosion.
Materials
The Purist II spare spool is built around high-strength, yet lightweight materials. The spool frame is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum to save weight without sacrificing rigidity. Internal components like the shaft and clicker stud are stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. There are no molded plastics in the spool, so durability is maximized. Lamson’s material choices ensure the spool remains featherlight while enduring the stresses of heavy line loads and frequent swaps.
Drag
Type: The Purist II uses a classic click-pawl drag system, and this spare spool is fully compatible. It’s not a sealed drag, but a simple forged steel pawl engages against the stainless steel cassette. The result is reliable drag performance with intuitive, tactile feedback. It delivers moderate stopping power best suited for freshwater or light saltwater use. The clicker can be switched on or off as needed for silent or audible strike indication.
Materials: Drag components on the spool side include a hardened steel pawl and a precision-cut alloy drag disc. These materials are chosen for longevity and repeatable function. The stainless steel and anodized aluminum surfaces resist corrosion, while any drag washers (when using optional drag kits) are typically carbon-fiber or phenolic for smooth operation and low wear over time.
Arbor Size
The extra spool boasts a large arbor design (inherited from the U.L.A. Purist series), which means the spool diameter is maximized. This delivers roughly 30% faster line retrieval per turn compared to older models with smaller spools. A large arbor reduces line memory and spreads the backing in a single, wide layer. Anglers benefit from quicker line pick-up and smoother drag operation during a fish fight, while also eliminating coiling especially when heavier flies or leaders are in play.
Warranty
Lamson stands behind the Purist II Spare Spool with a lifetime limited warranty (as of January 2025) covering any defects in materials or workmanship for the original owner. This warranty covers repair or replacement of faulty parts, but does not cover damage from misuse, abuse, or unauthorized modifications. Repairs have a flat service fee ($35 in the USA as of 2025) which includes parts and return shipping. Lamson’s U.S. service center processes warranty and non-warranty repairs, ensuring you’re back on the water quickly.
