Closed face reel spools?

[Jeremy Croxall]

Hi guys, I have a couple of spools I think from a closed face reel which were amongst a load of fly fishing goodies given to me by my pal Muscavado. I have no use for these spools so if anyone would like them please let me know and I will send them foc.
Dimensions and pics as follows:

Bottom dia 45mm
Top dia 43mm
depth 15mm
internal dia 18mm

They're very similar to the ABU 601 series spools even to the locking rings inside the spool!

Thank you Jeremy for the spools. They do have exactly the same fitting as the ABU Diplomat 602M I have. They actually fit on the reel!
However the diameter is smaller by about 5mm for both the top and the base!

So anyone know an ABU reel smaller than a 602M with push on spools?

I will forward the spools FOC as Jeremy did for me - to someone who would like/use them!

There was also a Diplomat 844, I have one that is incomplete so I don't know how good they are.

I still have the spools on my desk!

They could be for an ABUMATIC reel?

I think its one of the Abu diplomat reels maybe the 601m

[Olly]

No - they were for mine but they dont fit - too small!

Was the 602 the same size as the 601 Olly?
I had a silver 601 years ago it was tiny compared to the old 500 series.
Most admit I was not a fan of the 601 diplomat
The line used to bed in like crazy being a smaller spool size.

Sorry I do not know!

I only use the reel I have for catching small fish - under 1lb preferably!
