Hi Larry,
I'm sure this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it on the old forum.
I have a fly reel that holds 185 yards of 30# Dacron and a 9wt line. I'd like to load this reel with 12 weight line but the backing capacity wouldn't be enough for large tarpon.
I could load 50# or 65# Spectra line for and still maintain about 250-300 yards of backing with 12 weight line.
What kind of troubles will I end up with if I use the Spectra vs. Dacron?
Looking forward to the new season of HFBF in January!
Thanks,
Mark
