Will 17 lb mono cast and lay on the spool better than a 12 lb mono of the
same brand.By casting better I mean less backlashes[ not distance ] .The
reason I ask is that I respooled several reels that had 17 lb on them and
dropped down to 12 lb [same brand ] .I had a busy day picking out
birdnests of gigantic proportions..The reels that weren't respooled worked
like always......
I don't really understand why line size would make that much of a
difference but???

What does all that mean in laymen terms.I understand that as line pays out
the spool spins faster but are you saying that smaller diameter line should
have more overruns because the spool is turning faster than that of a
larger diameter line and more attention to "thumb" control is needed .

Exactly the opposite. The spool is spinning SLOWER with the lighter
line, which results in less braking force from the centrifugal brakes,
and thus more need for an educated thumb.
