Wire on Great Lakes 47LC

[overthelimit]

How much wire will fit on a Daiwa Great Lakes 47LC? Will 1000' fill it or will I need backing?

[Shelby Lynn]

It will fit no problem, no backing needed!

1000 fits perfect! Don't forget to put a piece of electrical tape over the knot after tying to the spool.

I like the nylon straping tape with the filiments in it insted of electrical tape..

1000' will fit no problem as stated above, but if you want your counters to be accurate use backing and fill that spool up. It's easy to do if your're spooling up 2 wires on LC's.

 

1. Spool the wire up on a reel.

2. Add backing and fill the spool up.

3. Zero the LC on the empty reel.

4. Reel the full reel onto the empty reel and note what the LC says when all the backing is on the new reel.

1000' of 30 lb wire perfectly fills a Daiwa 47 Reel, no backing needed.  At least, that's been the case with the 30 lb Malin I've been using for 15 years. 

 

That is on the SG47LCA's but I'm pretty sure the GL47's have the same capacity.
