the main thing you have to watch when using a large arbour is the line spooling up more to one side then the other. if you are not watching it can then jam up the reel just when you don't want it to.
i prefer the regular sized reels to the large arbour. had both a redington and an ukima (?) and hated both of them. the drag on both were horrible. bought a Lamson reel and it is the best reel i have ever used.
some people love the large arbours, myself i prefer the regular ones.
