What would be the ideal spool diameter for the 742LRS?
Google AI says
:Too small a spool (< 40 mm / 1000 size): Creates tight, sharp coils that slap against the interior walls of the rod, increasing friction and drastically cutting your casting distance.
The Sweet Spot (2500–3000 size / ~45–48 mm spool diameter): Balances smooth, manageable line coils with enough heft and line capacity for standard freshwater or light coastal fishing without overloading the internal layout of an interline rod.
Is this correct, that the 1000 would be hindering the flow of the line?
I was looking at the Airity ST SF1000S-P, but as I would like to go for sea trout as well as brown trout, perhaps I should look at the another model to avoid problems with the saltwater? What would you recomend that can be an option, and comparative to the new lightweight Zenon CX reels from Abu Garcia for example?
Best regards,
Andreas
