With braids line capacity isn't the issue it is with mono and a 6500 holds more 30/6 spiderwire (which I fish) than I will ever need, unless a 100lb bluefin wanders in close to minot ledge...lol.
Every year I keep going lighter and smaller capacity on both my spinning and casting gear. This year I'm using the Shimano Stradic 4000 for my spinning and those look to be great reels. Previously, I'd been using the Baitrunner 3500's, which will still see some action when I'm working a live eel.
On the casting, I picked up a Calcutta CT200A and with the 30/6 spiderwire and just enough mono backing to prevent spinning, I'm easily getting 200+ yards of line. My 6500 will be collecting dust in the dugout for a while I'm afraid. On the boat 200 yards is more than I will ever need and the outfitt is so light on the Lami 7'6" Titanium I built, it will be a joy to fling eels, plugs, poppers and lead/shad heads this year.
