[black][size 3]I second Simms, but I think I heard LL Bean also.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]On reels, Traditional (small) will hold more backing and smaller, plus that nostalgic look.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Mid Arbor/wide arbor will hold a little less backing than a traditional, and it will come in about the same size or slightly larger than a traditional. As Dry Rod said a little less line memory, but when a traditional is full of backing, the line is wound a little smaller...hence the WIDER reel, so the line can only be wound so small.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Large Arbor, A lot less backing, but with each turn of the handle you will be bringing in 8" to 12" of line. The advantage to bringing fish in fast or if they run at you.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Usually light weight because of the lack of backing, but Large in size.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Line memory is very minimal with a LA.[/size][/black]
