It just seems like common sense that line dia. and weight will have much to
do with casting distance and spool speed. As you decrease line weight & dia.
your spool speed would increase, thus the increase in backlasking. Increase
the spool tension to accomodate for this.

And AJH, How could a brand make a difference? IMHO, that is a personal
preference, and has nothing to do with line dia. or dynamics


I don't know about common sence but the larger diameter line would
come off the reel faster. Larger diameter may be stiffer but small
diameter would hold more line on the spool and would take less
revolutions of the spool for the same length of line to come off.
Thus the spool would spin slower reducing backlash.

Or maybe i am looking at it wrong.
