    Penn Battle II / Penn Spinfisher

    Does anyone know why the Battle II 6000 reel holds 230 yds. of mono and the Spinfisher 6500 only holds 210 yds. of mono?

    In my ignorance, it seems that the larger reel should hold more line.

    I'm sure the gearing could impact line capacity, but again, just a guess.

    Different spool - Battle 2 is a slightly newer design. I've got 3 of them - 1000, 2500, and 4000. Never had one issue with any of them. One of the best values right around $100.
