What's up with the Small Spools?

What's the reasoning behind the smaller spools on the Core and the new Chronarch. Loved the Chronarch B series. Use them alot with 16 pound test for carolina rigging and football jigs. I feel like with the new reels you can only get about 50 yards of 16 pound test on the new ones. Wondering why they would make such small spools. A couple of snags and having to break off and you would be able to spool the reel on a cast. Any reason why they did this? just curious

The shallower spools cast better and want to continue spinning. You move the weight towards the outer part of the spool. Its simple physics.

Personally I would C-Rig with a 200 size reel like the Curado. I like a wider spool for added line capacity. I like to fish the C-Rig with a lot of scope in the line. Maybe thats just me...

Ya, I understand that, I got plently of chonarch b's for all my long cast applications but I was just wondering for a guy who would like to fill his entire line with one model it makes it tough going to the smaller spool for a wide variety of techniques. Anyway, I do have one of the D's on order for pitching plastics. Looking forward to getting a chance to use it. I just love the versatility of the B's and i feel like you lose some of that versatility by going to the smaller spool for bigger lines.
