I want a large spool for casting distance and retrieve speed. So I go over-sized. Reels can be pretty light now so weight/balance is less of an issue. I am using US Reels 230 and 240's a lot, and my most recent purchase was a Pflueger President Ltd. Ed. in size 40.

Love my President 40 Special edition 40

Sometimes I wonder if I went to bog

I like smaller lighter reels.

 

8lb mono or Fluro is my line of choice for the techniques I use. That being said I like reels that will hold 100 to 110 yds of 8lb mono. That's usually a 1500 - 2500 size reel.

 

I can buy the small Stren and Berkley Trilene spools of 100 yards and fill these sizes reel with no guess work. Makes my OCD flare up less often that way.

Most of my bass fishing reels are spinning reels in sizes 1000-4000, with size 4000 being my favorite spinning reel to use.A size 4000 spinning reel allows me to comfortably fish lures that are usually fished with baitcasters(spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, swimbaits,etc) and allows me to cast further than using a size 1000-2000 spinning reel.I use these size 4000 spinning reels for saltwater fishing as well,so reels of this size are great for a multi species fisherman.

Hey guys...quick issue: when comparing reel sizes of 2000/2500/3000 from the same manufacturer are the internal mechanisms of each reel the same? Or are they bigger/stronger  as the reel size gets larger or is it just the spool size that gets bigger?

Thanks!
