How much backing for leadcore

[Burdzy12]

Just looking for some advice. I bought 10 magna 30 reels and 2 45 reels. I’m looking to spool them with tuf line 27 lbs leadcore and i have 30 lbs power pro braid as backer. My question is how much backer to I put on of the power pro? I’m going to do (2) 10 color on the 45’s, (2) 8 color on 30’s, (2)  7 color, (2) 6 color, (2) 5 color and (2) 4 color. I’m also going to run seaguar fluorocarbon as the leader. What size swivels do you recommend and also do you run the double uniknot connection all the line or should i use small barrel swivels? Thank you guys in advance!

Check out the "Tackle & Techniques" section . I am pretty sure all the info you are looking for is in a few posts pinned at the top

Run leadcore onto one of them in the amount you want then add the braid to fill the spool. Then reverse that onto another reel of the same size. Then you know your full.

I use 50# stainless VMC swivels (size 10) for most of my connections on leadcore, copper and steel.  Size 12 (40#) are also good.   These are both very small and go through guides easily. Leadcore plays nice with knots so I wouldnt hesitate to go that route either.
