okuma cv 30 d

[eyedoctor]

I just bought an okuma cv 30 d would like to know if it will hold 10 colors of leadcore with backing or should I think about filling it with something else?

The Okuma 30 size reels are perfect for riggers, wire dipseys/Mono or braid dipseys, or 5 colors of lead with backing. Not sure if you can even fit 10 colors on that reel, but if you did you would have no backing.

The 45 size in either the Convector or Catalina, or the super fast 553 Clarion are all perfect for 10 color lead with adequate backing.

how deep would five colors get me?

17 to 30' depending on boat speed, leader wt, rod position, and lure used.
