It is important to consider the line capacity of a spinning reel. A reel’s line capacity is the amount of line it can hold on its spool. A reel’s line capacity is usually listed on its side in yards. Depending on your fishing style, it’s important to choose a reel with sufficient line capacity. You will need a reel with a higher line capacity if you are fishing in deeper waters, trolling, or using heavier lines. If you’re fishing from a dock or shoreline and just casting out, you can get away with a much smaller line capacity as the average casting distance is 25-30 yards. For example, the Shimano Miravel 2500HG is rated to hold 150 yards of 10 lbs. braided line, but only 100 yards of 30 lbs. braid.
