| Re: Big Danny hits a biggy.... 1760 / 330 = 5.3 (knew my maths o level would come in useful one day !) Yep fifth of a mile ..... Incidentally do the tournament casters use bigger spools or lighter line ? My 525 says spool capacity of 275 yds of 15lb line so how do these guys do it ? __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

| Re: Big Danny hits a biggy.... i think they use as lighter line as poss say for 12lb or even lighter if they can handle it and the rules permit. __________________ forced too work born too fish |

| Re: Big Danny hits a biggy.... ...they don't use lighter line....they lay it on the spool in a certain way....something like 5 turns to the left then 5 turns to the right then fill the middle, and so on and so on....then totally fill the spool then bunch it right up in the middle....they are very good at what they do....  |
