wire reels

[Russ]

I have a diawa 27LC and an Okuma MAG20PRO and wondered if I can get enough wire on them to use for a dipsy set-up so I don't have to buy two more reels?

30lb wire is to much for a 27lc, if anything maybe you can fit 20lb wire on? (not sure about this though) we use 30lb and it fills a 47lc up

Thanks, that's what I figured, oh well.... guess I'll just have to buy some more reels

I got some Opti brand wire, it's 7 strand 30# and the diameter is .012. I thought it may be a typo but I checked their website and it isn't. That's thinner than the Mason or Malin 30#. I spooled it on a ADP47LC and it didn't fill the spool so Jekyll and I spooled it to a ADP27LC and it filled with all but 50 or 60 feet of the full 1000. We probably could've fit it all if we knew that was all that was left.
