Default rod/reel line for baitcaster


"1984" wrote in message

Lets say I have a baitcaster that is made for 10-14 lb line and a rod
the same. Will I have any problems putting on 14 lb fireline even
though the diameter is only 6 lb?


The only problem that I foresee happening is if you snag your lure and try
to pull it free, the line might cut down into the spool, causing backlashes
on the next cast. Make sure that when you put the line on the reel, that
you spool it VERY tightly under a lot of tension to reduce this problem.

This is a common issue with fine diameter superlines.
