In this video I'll take you for a deep dive into the second key parameter of a baitcasting reel's spool: diameter. Just like spool weight, the spool diameter is a constantly changing variable during casting or retrieving. The diameter change significantly affects the lure speed, diving depth, the success rate of hook setting and fish fighting. With a little high school math and physics, you will see the practical significance of the spool diameter in real world fishing, you will discover the full potential of your baitcasting reel. Spool diameter IMO is more impactful than spool weight in many ways. It all starts from a common misconception about line recovery or IPT (inches per turn) spec of the newest 2024 Daiwa flagship Steez......
