... Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi guys, Question... Going to spool up my spare spools... But the spools state... Spool Capacity: 295yds/15lb -270m/0.35mm Im putting on So should I put on the 270mtrs each spool or is there any sort of DIY de-spacer I could put on my reels to not put as much line on (no spare li e either as a backing). My absolute max cast would be about 100mtrs...cant see a fish running 170mtrs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would just fill up all 3 Spools with the line if they are empty, I usually cut off a few metres every few weeks, as the line can become stretched or damaged, maybe if I had some line on already I may leave some on as backing but i would always want atleast 200m of the line on my reel ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My absolute max cast would be about 100mtrs...cant see a fish running 170mtrs?? I gave up believing the amount on the spools. On my 10000 Baitrunners I have loaded straight onto the reel spool. On my Beastmasters I have some backing line. Backing line is usually just 'last' years line, and then when I strip the old line off I just go as far as the backing. At some point I must have been sad enough to work out that a bulk spool spread across 3 reels and I loaded the original backing so that it filled exactly. That bulk spool will give you 3 reels, plus leftover, so you might as well use it at. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framey Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 If it’s a 1000 yard spool just wind it on it should do all 3 and some left over if you have a spare spool you could just fit it to the reel and wind off 100 turns of the old stuff first that will take off Around 95M if it takes 0.95m for a turn of the handle the manufacturer website will probably give you that info. then just wind the new line on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've found line goes on better If you soak it first BTW just my preference I also have a spool loader clamp thing which I think is brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmaster Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Personally I'd fill the spools personal confidence just in case then check it every few weeks for damage stretch etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
