I just went out and got myself a new spinning reel, Shakespear Excursion?
It came in the package with a black plastic spool spare, and it also had a 5 inch long metal thing with a 1 inch long notch in it... I read the instructions but can't figure out what this is for... Is it a tool or was it just in the package to keep the reel in place?
l checked a number of sites, including shakespeare's. found no mention of any extra parts, tools or anything. maybe it's packaging like you say.
maybe it's a very small rod holder to lean your rod on while fishing.
maybe something fell off of one of the machines at the factory during packaging.
