I’ve just done both reels with 1000m Korda 15lb and got a bit left over.
I used the uni knot on bot my reels. I was surprised how easy the knot was to make.
Thanks for the calculator
I’ve had a look at the calculator which works out at 421m per spool. I could get both of my spools filled with the 1000m spool.

Thanks for that.
I must admit, when looking at that knot I thought it looked a bit bulky. The Okuma has a line capacity of 0.35/ 550. My line is 0.40 spool size 1000m. Which I suspect means I will either need to use some backing or buy another spool.

I have finally got my new Okuma 8k reels, I have now to fill them with line. What is the best way to start it off, is it knot the line or using a knot. If the latter what knot would you use?

I’ve had a look at both today. It looks like the Okuma as the only one they had was the owner of the shop. He s going to ring me when he can get one in. I must admit they both look good, the reason I went for the Okuma was the price.
I’m looking for a couple of reels and the Aerlex 14000 ATC looks like a decent reel. It is at the top of my budget £120. What other reels would people suggest at or below this price.
I must admit one of the things I miss since is wind ups. After 40 years in total in the Army and Prison service where wind ups were a daily incurrence.
