old mini paint roller, the insert from a sponge roller. 2 big plastic washers and some metal odds and sods. Needs must and I dont own a reel and cant afford one at present. Try it out for casting ability etc, later on.
 
Shit job..... just broke!

Better luck next time Jon, is there any particular type of reel that you'd prefer...I sometimes find them in mixed lots of stuff.
