Smaller reel might buy you some capacity with a thinner line but it will also have less drag and fish fight ability than a larger reel. Also, while lighter tackle is considered by many to be more "sporting" and fun, heavier tackle will get a bigger fish in faster and with less chance of losing. That faster fight means that fish can be turned around and released quicker with less possible harm.... Also keep in mind, you would really be bleepin' in your pants if you hooked into a Real Big Fish and lost it due to inadequate gear
