  2. reel spool size/braid for mono

    MDS posted a topic in Fishing Rods, Reels, Line, and Knots
    Bass Pro is advertising new wide spool reels, supposedly superior for longer casting. Authors and professionals such as R. G. Schmidt recommend narrow spools for the same reason. Who is right and under what circumstances? Fishing with a guide this past week convinced me to switch to braid from mono. If I have been using 10 lb mono and go to 10 lb braid, however, the line thickness changes to the equivalent of 4 lb mono. Should I choose a reel, normally rated for mono, translating that into braid size? In other words, would a 4lb mono reel work with 10 lb braid? Thanks, MDS from NC
