Three things can happen when your reel is not fully spooled:

  1. You will not be able to cast as far due to the added friction of the line on the reel when a cast is made.
  2. You increase the chances of a large fish "spooling" (pulling all your line) you when you fish.
  3. If your reel is not fully spooled and you get a cutoff while fishing you may end up with very little line on your reel forcing an end to your fishing activities.
