Respooling my reel for the weekend on Cuttyhunk with the boys, and the fall run. I prefer PowerPro on this reel, so that is not the discussion here.
My question is; my local shop only had 30# and 80#, nothing inbetween. 30# has given me windknots, so that is out. Is there anything wrong with going up to 80#??? I usually use 50#. I don't think the 80 will reduce casting distance significantly, but want to hear if I have not considered something.
