It does pretty good. I hold a little more tension wearing a glove to hold it back. I also add a little more line then needed. Then I go out on the lake, let out 90 percent of the line with a tripped dipsy. Crank it back in and it’s nice and tight.

I used braid backer and got 300’ of copper on the 40’s I Found a good reel calculator on line, it is an excel format. I used that reel filler for all my reels. The wire was off a little, reel was probably 90% full. All the copper and leadcore were really close to the calculation. I also have a South Chatham reel spooler with a digital counter. Worked out well for me. Blood run copper Berkeley big game mono power pro braid 40’s Backing Braid 50# 225 yards 50# Mono splice (for release) 5 yards 32# Copper 100 yards (300’) 50# Mono Leader 5 yards Calculator said reel is 101% looking at it I would say it’s like 97% full. 50’s Backing Braid 50# 250 yards 50# mono splice 5 yards 32# Copper 133.3 yards (400’) 50# Mono Leader 5 yards Calculator said reel is 100.20% full. I’d say it’s 100%

I do like to have matching setups. I have a total of 4 reels to spool up. Reel will hold a maximum of 450’ of copper.

Looking for opinions on what length copper lines I should spool up. Reel capacity chart calculates I can fit a maximum 450’ of 32# copper, using 50# braid backer. Any thoughts on the following combinations: A. 1-200’ 2-300’ & 1-400’ B. 2-200’ & 2-300’ (snap weights to run deeper) C. Other suggestions? I have 4 wire divers or 2 braided divers, 2 DR’s and will be pulling big boards I appreciate any advice.
