Convector 55

[Big Water]

Will a Convector 55 hold 500' of 45# copper and at least 300-400' of 30$ mono backing?

Thanks,

Doug

I have a Clarion 55 with 500' copper and it just fit 150yds of 50# power pro for backing, I don't think you're going to make it with the mono.

i have a Convector 55 with 450' of 45lb copper and 600' of 50lb PowerPro. i dont think that the extra 50' of copper and the mono will fit. i would just use braid for your backing.

For what it's worth my Clarion 55 wouldn't take 900ft power pro and 500ft #45 copper. Although it was close.

Why would you add a backer that is less strenght than the main line? Copper is fully deployed past the backing knot when using boards. 50lb braid seems a far better choice, more expensive than mono, I'll give you that. If you want to use 30lb mono as a backer, then switch to 32lb copper and you will be able to load a lot more backing to it. See the related threads on Bloodrun Copper. Other brands come in 32 lb as well.
