A reel assembly (10) is provided comprising a cylindrical barrel (12), a barrel head (20) secured to each end of the barrel and a flange construction (14) secured to each barrel head adjacent the ends of the barrel. The flange construction is formed by arcuate flange segments (14a, 14b), each releasably secured to one another and to the associated barrel head. The barrel head includes inner and outer annular supports (28, 30) and an end plate (22) securing the structure together. The inner and outer annular supports define a receipt slot (54) for receiving and securing an end of the barrel therein. The end plate is rigidly fixed to the inner and outer supports and the flange construction is releasably secured to the outer annular support of the barrel head.
