I've decided to put braid on as backing and then go with 50lb mono on top of that...
I know this is a stupid question but I figure that someone has done it before and may can tell me what to do.... after all, the reason you ask questions on a forum is to learn right... lol
My Penn special senator 6/0 reel will hold the following amounts of line
(Mono capacity) Yards/lbs (braid Capacity)
450/50 1250/65
I want to use about 350 yards of 50lb monofilament and put braid under that but im not sure how much braid Im going to need to use? If I use 50 lb power pro which is equivelant to 12 lb mono or something around that anyways, how much braided line will I be able to put on my reel and what should my total length of line on my reel be?
the small diameter of the braid has got me so confused about how many yards that will put on my reel.....
Im just trying to get the best out of my reel... I want a lot of line and like everyones telling me that mono is the best to use, im just trying to get some extra line just in case I hook into a monster, I don't want to be spooled... just saying!!!
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this problem!!!
If your reel holds 450/50 lb mono or 1250/65 lb braid, then you can put on 270 yards of 65 lb braid and 350 yards of 50 lb mono on top.
