Tournament Anglers

Or anybody else that might know. I was at a our local tackle shop's fishing open house on Saturday. The feature pro that was speaking was Kevin Wirth. One of the things he was talking about was how line size effects the rate of fall and how much it can come into play during a tournament. Of course after the open house I got to thinking. How do tournament anglers go about line changes while out on the water? Do they have enough rods and reels on the boat that if they want to downsize all they have to do is pull out another rig? Do they carry extra reels or spools with different line sizes that they can just swap out the reel or spool? Or, which I doubt because time is so important, do they strip their reels and put new line on?

Just something that got me thinking.
