The persons suggesting using a larger spool are correct and it makes sense
to me from all aspects. I have 2000 and 4000 size Stradic reels on the
same setups except the 2000 has a less test line (10 vs. 8 lb) and I can not
get the distance on the smaller reel that I can on the 4000 size reel,
further, I can feel the difference when stripping line from the two size
reels.
