Default RE: Fishing line review...used for rubber worms..

All depends on the size of spinning rod. For the most part spinning rods are designed for smaller lures which need smaller diameter line. That being said my beach fishing spinning rod is spooled up with 20lb mono and still casts >100yards. (of course it is flinging a 4 oz weight and the rod is 12 feet long) There really isn't much of a difference between 10lb and 14lb test. You will notice some loss of casting distance and some people would argue your bite rate will go down. (I would disagree unless you are fishing in gin clear water)

Disclaimer: I am biased against spinning rods. At about 12 years of age I was introduced to baitcasters and found out how much easier they are to handle once mastered and how the dreaded line twist is a thing of the past.
