lb test on a reel question.
OK I know that as a general rule you don't go above the pound test rating for a reel. Here is the question.
I have a couple years old shakespeare reel that only states it is rated for 8# test line. The only line I could come up with this year (that met my limited requirements for fishing) was 10# Cajun Red Cast. I use to buy just plain old stren, but the last spool I bought the stuff was braking even when I would tie a knot! I couldn't catch a 1/4lb bluegill on it without it breaking (and that statment is from experience.) Anyway we are talking about the difference between .011 and .012 diameter. In your opinion am I going to have problems with hangups, knots, etc (Internal here) on this little spincast reel? Thanks GoodOlBoy addendum: Yes I know that shakespeare makes 8# cajun red cast, I am talking about what I could get in my area without having to pay shipping. Thanks again.
