How to Read This Chart

  • Box (A1, A2 ...): All models and sizes in the same box are fully interchangeable.
  • A ↔ B: Spools of the two boxes can be mounted on each other. Line-lay adjustment may be needed.
  • A → B: Spools of box A can be mounted on the reels of box B, but not the other way round.
  • YUMEYA: The YUMEYA spool type code that fits the reels in the box. Tap the code or the spool name below it to see our YUMEYA spool.
  • Links: Solid underline = our spare spool page. Dotted underline = no product page yet. Please request it with our Genuine Parts Back-Order form.
  • Genuine parts no longer available: SHIMANO no longer supplies genuine parts for this model, so the spool cannot be ordered.
  • “Spool” means the “spool assembly” in SHIMANO’s parts list.

Size Codes

  • SSS = Special Shallow (ultra-shallow) spool
  • SS = Super Shallow (extra-shallow) spool
  • S = Shallow spool
  • M = Medium Deep spool
  • MS = Medium Shallow spool
  • PG = Power Gear / HG = High Gear / XG = Extra High Gear
