Here's a question I have been pondering for awhile now. If Berkleys Fireline is 1/3 as thick as normal line (mono). Then can you put a heavier weight line on a reel that is measured for 4/6 pound line? In other words if 6# Fireline is the same dia. as 2# pound mono, could you put 10# fireline on a reel set up for 4# line? The equation could continue to rise. Like 20# Fireline on a 6# reel. Or would you run into problems when you hooked that larger fish on the smaller reel?
I ask this because I just spooled a shakespere ultralite reel with 4# fireline and it took 125 yards to fill a 100 yard spool. And it still isn't full but pretty close. I wont be casting with this as it is on the ice pole. But it does raise an interesting question.
