There is a reason. If you're a bank fisherman and fish in the rivers, you'd be glad to have a ton of line. You never know if you get a musky, snag a sturgeon etc.Cracker wrote:What is the point to fill the spool completely full on bait casting tackle?
I do it on spinning reels obviously, but all my bc reels have 66 or 75 yards line on on them, and they are usually 2/3 filled of full capacity.
Haven’t noticed any distance been sacrificed that way.
