Extra Spool

Question about Fly Fishing reels and spools.?
I'm trying to get into fly fishing but I'm a little confused about something. On websites you can order the reel and extra spools, but what would you need an extra spool for if the reel can only handle 6 weight line? Can you use a 8 weight spool on a 6 weight reel that is the same model? If you get a 6 weight rod and reel what is the heaviest weight line it can handle? What is the lightest it can handle?
You wouldn't use an 8wt spool on a 6wt size reel. It wouldn't fit. The extra spool would be identical to the spool that came with the reel.
One of the most popular uses for an extra spool is to carry an different type of Fly Line, like a Sink Tip. You can also use various size lines on different reels. What you would sacrifice by going to a larger line size is backing capacity, but usually not enough to make a difference. Going to a smaller line would increase backing capacity. On a medium sized reel, like a 6wt, there shouldn't be any problems going up or down a line size.
