Hummm......how would these two "Monarchs" of the surf (fishing) distance spinning world fair in a head to head duel in the hot Carolina sun over rough, and I mean very rough grass, weeds and briars---a 45mm spool reel vs. a 35 mm spool....same weight......both forward tapered....I had a little time on my hands, temporary access to an open field (but exceeding rough) and wanted to share..... This is a comparison story, not distance per se ........so this is my story and I'm sticking to it.
