Reels with plastic spool

Plastic

— a rather rare material used as an addition to the main aluminium alloy coils.

The main advantage of plastic is its low cost; in addition, it weighs a little, which is especially important for a spare part. On the other hand, this material is not very strong, which does not allow it to be used in "powerful" coils. Yes, and with a braided cord, plastic spools do not work well — they reduce the casting distance and wear out a lot.
