Does the spool include a drag or reel foot?

No. It is the spool only. The drag, frame, foot and handle are on the reel body, and the spool drops into the reel you already own.

Will it fit my Redington Grande reel?

It is made for the Grande series, but spools are matched to a specific reel size. Check that the spool size matches the size printed on your reel.

Yes. That is the main reason to buy one: keep a sinking or heavier line on the spare spool and swap it onto the reel in seconds.

Yes. The spool arrives bare, so you add backing, fly line and leader yourself or have a shop do it.

For most anglers, yes. It is lighter, takes less room in a bag and keeps the same drag and retrieve you already know.
