BUT... There IS nothing like watching a smaller sized reel just spooled almost instantly.

If that floats your boat, you should see a 130 get almost spooled faster than you can say "fish on"!

standard for us from the get-go is 4-50 wides. and 2-70 wides till we get the first one in the boat. then we'll downsize the setups to make it fun. don't like to play with my food so the first one usually gets overpowered. then we'll switch to 30 class fun rods.

I know,now I am going to have to buy a couple of spinning outfits to have on just in case. What were those rods again?

MM,
I agree that you don't play around until the first is cut and on ice. After that its play time. I've seen 130's go ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ POP! Can't really describe the sound and feeling until you witness it first hand.
