We should do a poll on this. I am willing to bet. Most folks would want larger spools of line. Maybe not 1000 yards but 300 yards. Come on down to Northern Illinois or South East Wisconsin. Very few people hit the ice with only a rod or two. Most have upwards of 5 rods. Each rigged differently. For when the bite or color of the day changes. By the way i help out at a local bait shop during busy times and you would be surprised the amount of folks that complain about the small spoils of line. We tell them to put backer line on.
