Good points..
I was always taught to stay within the reel rating and I'm not really sure why. I remember pops saying: "If you hook something real huge that you know you have no hope of landing you can always crank down the drag and break him off."
But I think I'd rather take my chances of getting spooled and be able to man-handle bigs out of kelp or reef with heavier line.
