Well I must be a real tight a*** cause I use wool or anything else bulk I can find to fill the spool with then a couple of turns of electrical tape and hey presto a shallow spool ! Only ever once come close to getting near to the tape with a fish and that was a mean old pike that decided it wanted to try white water swimming and was faster than me down the bank ! 17lber she was and as miserable as my mother when she realised she started the fire with a winning lottery ticket !
Not really as you may want to use mono on the reel especially if you're fishing somewhere where abrasion is a real problem such as fishing amongst coral. A deeper spool allows you the option.Doesnt this imply that manufacturers are making the spools too deep?
