I have a 450 and 550 on them, not sure who much backing but more than enough. blood run copper. I think it gets so heavy on the fish when they hit that you don't need a ton of backing.

 

that is on the 60, the 50 I have 300, 350

Seagate 60:

500 copper with 150yds of 50lb braid backing

400 copper with 300yds of 50lb braid backing

 

Seagate 50 - I have a pair, but I'm not sure what they hold for capacity. I know I have 10 colors of lead on them, but not sure of the backing?.

Dirt,  maybe copy and save the the file, then open with excel. When I click on it, the file opens right up. Someone with more computer knowledge will be along to help out ,I'm sure.

For what its worth.  My first copper rig was 2 years ago.  A Seagate 60 with 45# blood run super copper.   I only squeezed 400 ft of copper on with 200 yards of 40# power pro.  I do have a 30ft piece of 30# mono between backing and copper for boards etc and my copper to mono is a twist with a micro swivel.  Freshly loaded it was tight and the copper to mono knot just cleared consistently.  When used a bit things stretched/ settled in and its a bit better.   with no info I could find I was winging it and had to cut back on the backing and pull the copper off on the first try and drop the backing down.  I was surprised to see the 500 copper listed above.  500 though even at 150 yds backing (50#, mine is 40) I would imagine will highly depend on your knots I guess.
