Orvis CFO Spare Spool
This fly line spool is the only product that pairs with our C.F.O Reel, allowing you to quickly change lines on the water.
In honor of its 50th anniversary, the USA-made click-and-pawl C.F.O Reel is inspired by renowned fly reel designer Stan Bogdan’s 1971 revival of the timeless, ventilated-port design first patented by Charles Frederick Orvis in 1874.
Worthy of display and fun to fish, this classic click-and-pawl features the same black frame and spool with silver accents as Bogdan’s 1971 icon. It includes an easy left- to right-hand retrieve conversion and is made with durable, corrosion-resistant type III anodizing.

I bought this spare spool to replace the one that broke during a weekend trip. It fits perfectly with my C.F.O Reel and feels just like the original. The build quality is solid and the silver accents look great. I’ve used it in rain and wind without any issues.

As a long-time Orvis user, I appreciate the authenticity of this spool. It matches the classic C.F.O design exactly. The anodized finish holds up well in saltwater conditions. Easy to swap in the field and reliable performance.

The spool works well with my C.F.O Reel and feels balanced. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but that may be due to the anodized material. I’ve used it on several trips and it hasn’t shown any wear yet.
