    Make sure your reel is calibrated for the chart to be accurate.  Measure out 100 feet on your driveway then see what your line counter reads when stretched out over that 100 feet.  If its shows less than 100 feet, you need to remove line, if it shows over 100 feet you need to add line.  For Shimano Reels, use a factor of 8ft.  For example, if your line counter reads 95 you would remove 5x8 (40ft) of line from the reel.  If it reads 110  you would need to add 10*8 (80ft) of line.  

     

    GREAT point I always forget to mention.  I use a full reel too.
