Product Description
Fin-Nor XAD421-01 Spool Assembly | Mega Lite MLS80 Replacement
Restore the high-capacity performance and smooth drag operation of your heavy-duty spinning reel with the Fin-Nor XAD421-01 Spool Assembly. This genuine factory replacement is engineered specifically for the Fin-Nor Mega Lite 80 (MLS80), the largest model in the Mega Lite series.
Constructed from machined aluminum and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, this spool is designed to handle the high-tension demands of saltwater surf fishing and heavy inshore applications. It serves as the primary housing for the reel's front-drag system, ensuring consistent pressure and heat dissipation when fighting large species.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your new spool and to keep your drag engaging smoothly, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during installation:
-
Drag Washer Service: Apply a light coat of Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the internal drag washers. This specialized formula is water-resistant and prevents "stiction," providing a smooth start-up even under heavy loads.
-
Spool Shaft & Clicker: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the spool clicker mechanism and the main shaft interface. This helps prevent salt crystallization and ensures the clicker remains audible.
-
General Protection: A drop of Deuthlon Cast Lube on the spool's bearing surfaces will reduce friction and protect against the corrosive effects of salt spray.
Standard lubricants often break down or wash out in saltwater environments; Deuthlon provides a superior synthetic barrier that maintains its integrity over time.
