The Preston Innovations Inception 520 Spare Spool is a essential accessory designed to maximize the flexibility of your Inception 520 reel. Engineered specifically for distance feeder setups, having a dedicated spare spool pre-loaded with an alternative line choice allows you to swap tactics instantly without cutting down your rig or re-spooling on the bank.
Constructed from precision-machined aluminium, this spool is optimized for smooth line lay and friction-free casting when punching feeders out between 60m and 80m. It features a high-quality metal line clip that holds line securely without causing wear or damage, allowing you to hit your distance mark with absolute consistency cast after cast.

Pro Tip
Keep your main Inception 520 spool loaded with low-stretch 0.10mm or 0.12mm feeder braid paired with a mono shockleader for extreme distance bite detection. Load this spare 520 spool with a direct 8lb monofilament main line—if the wind picks up or you are targeting heavy commercial carp at distance where a bit of line stretch prevents hook-pulls, you can switch spools in seconds.
Ideal Applications & Use Cases
-
Tactical Line Swaps: Pre-load with alternative main lines (braid vs. mono) to adapt quickly to changing weather, distance, or target species.
-
Distance Feeder Work: Built to handle high-capacity lines needed for punching heavy feeders 60m–80m on open-water lakes, reservoirs, and commercial venues.
-
Match Backup: Keep a backup spool wound and ready to go to bounce back immediately from line damage or a crack-off during a session.
