Yes, you can get a lot more on a reel. That's why I started using it
because I was tired of being spooled out by big fish. I actually
think it is easier to knot than mono.


Wayne, you need one of these. You can load it with a mile of 200lb braid.

That's a lot of line, no question about it, and it's a nice looking
reel - should be for that price. :-)

I notice that it's a "star" drag instead of "lever" however. I
wonder why since most of the high end reels I've been looking at seem
to be lever drag. The Penn-Senator reel where I just burned out the
clutches was star drag, much smaller however.
