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?

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.

Good advice from Huber!

Here's another idea: unless you have a good reason for loading 14#
Fireline, why not use 25# or 30#? The heavier line won't dig
in/backlash as easily. I have used 30# Fireline on an assortment of
Curados and Daiwas for years without a problem. The stuff casts like
a dream, even with light lures and is strong enough to pull stumps.
