MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
Hey guys,
I have been looking around for this spool for a while and all i can find is the steez variant model spool never the T3 model. If any of you guys know where i could find one that would help.
Thanks as always,
Ronan.

Take a look at the diy chinese spools. Cheap alternative. A lot of us are having pretty good results with them.
Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
I have had a look at them my only problem is I want a spool for finesse with plenty of line capacity like the megabass honeycomb.

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
Didn't know they made one, aren't they only available for the IS and Zonda?

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
The words "finesse" and "line capacity" simply do NOT go hand in hand. All true BFS spools are shallow design spools. As for one to fit the FX reels, the IS Honeycomb spool will fit it. They both take a 34mm spool, just as the T3 1016 spool will drop into any Steez, TDZ, ect.Draethe84 wrote:I have had a look at them my only problem is I want a spool for finesse with plenty of line capacity like the megabass honeycomb.

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
Will fit the T3 if you change out the spool bearing to one with a reduced width.
Then no need to remove any shaft tension shims.
However the honey comb offers little gains over the SV spools.

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
So the knock off versions hold less capacity than the MB honeycomb version?

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
There is no FX68 Honeycomb, only the IS, Zonda, and IP version. I suggest doing what Africanbass suggested with the bearing swap, hes kind of a guru of the T3 reels

Re: MB FX68 Honeycomb Spool
So i had a peak at one of my friends BFS spools like this, they cast pretty sweet with better bearings. This may also be a consideration.masterbass wrote:Take a look at the diy chinese spools. Cheap alternative. A lot of us are having pretty good results with them.

Yeah the last few I've seen have been north of $300, very few and far between.bronzefly wrote:1/49 - fetching some crazy $ from the very few I've seen...
