This is news to me. I doubt mono swells up enough to crack a spool.

It can happen when using extremely high drag when the fish actually takes out line. In musky fishing we use a high drag but let's be honest muskys don't really take drag out. And when they do it certainly doesn't take out drag to the mono backing. This is not a concern at all for a musky reel but I've seen spools pop when using all mono on strong fighting fish such as tuna.

That is why its news to me. I don't know any tuna anglers. Do tuna hit on a figure-8 as well???
