Thanks everyone for good points. When we fished long range we would fish "bigger" spectra so even if the reel was rated for 20 lb we would use a bigger test that was still thinner then the equal mono. With conventional tackle we would just make sure to thumb the line side to side in a pattern that would prevent the line from digging in. I guess that would be an issue with a fly reel. A plus would be that spectra does not degrade like dacron. Anyway I checked the reel and rod combo out and the balance point is pretty close. I think that will be the way I go. Thanks again everyone!
