Spool width vs. length effect on casting and line management

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Spool width vs. length effect on casting and line management

Post by lifeofRiley » Wed Feb 05, 2020 1:44 am

I'm wondering about the stated question after seeing the flooger arbor reel. It's gotten some favorable reviews on TW. It's got a very short but wide spool. I was wondering what people think of this reel and also about casting difference with a spool that is wider/narrower vs. longer/shorter.

Same concept as the Arbor.
