The original Chronarch had the standard titanium fiber washer. If you are concerned with line capacity you might want to look at the "BSV" model. It has a deeper spool than the standard B model. If you are going to use it for bass fishing the line capacity shouldn't be a problem. I think my B model held 100 yards of 15#, if you have a bass run you down 100 yards then it deserved to get away!}(
