dan before you bought it from him had 2100 yards of 200lb braid then a little under 400yrds of 125 bullbuster on top

it was 2000 yds of 150 super slick power pro, then 400 yd 125 lb topshot

my opinion the best option for an 80w

I dont want anyone to get the wrong information so heres the scoop - Power Pro super slick is only available up to 80lb test and not 150lb.
http://www.powerpro.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/power_pro_v2/products/powerpro_super_slick.html
Power Pro regular 150lb braided line is 0.022" in diameter
http://www.powerpro.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/power_pro_v2/info/powerpro_superline.html
Jerry Brown Hollow Core 130lb is o.533mm which is 0.021"
http://www.bhptackle.com/home.php?cat=42
This means that the Jerry Brown 130lb Hollow Braid is smaller in diameter than the 150lb Power Pro braid.

With that being said if my Avet 80w has 500yds of 130lb JB hollow braid and 425yds of Hi-Seas Grand Slam Mono and is packed full then there is no way possible that the same 80w reel will fit 2100yds (4 times the mount on mine) of braid that is larger in diameter plus 400yds of 125lb mono. To fit those kind of numbers onto a reel your talking about a 130 class reel and not an 80w class reel.

my information is exactly what dan told me he had on his 80w. and i spooled my 50w with 1200 yrds of 130 hollow jb then like 100 yard of 125 lb bullbuster. and dan said he custom ordered the heavier super slick power pro but im not sure if that is even possible.

This is what a little over 900 yards of 130 sufix performance braid looks like packed on with 20lbs of pressure on a Avet 50W.

here is 500 yards of 130 plus 600 yards of 200 JB hollow on the 80W

1500 yd spool of 150lb power pro. plently of room left would have taken a pic of the spool but i threw it away. Ask Alec jackson (islandboyalec) who has yaked my baits out 1000+ yards and not even dented my spool, Sean obrein (seanVST) who helped me spool it onto my blue 80w, and Coty Stefani (Manasota coty) who spooled it from my blue 80w to an empty spool.

Thats well over half way filled up - throw on some 125lb bullbuster or 150lb mono on there and I dont think youll get near as much as you think is left on there. Regardless of how it looks the numbers dont lie - ive filled up three or four 80w's with braid mono combinations and theres no way you can get that much braid of that size and over 400yds of 125lb or up mono. Its almost dead on 700yds to fill up an 80w with 130lb mono to the top.

Good luck with the rest of it and make sure youve got a good connection between the braid and the mono, set the drags with a scale and you have a monster slayer in your hands. Congratulations on the neat color.
