Penn senator line capacity with different spools

Was wondering if the line capacity changes with different spool types. The 14/0 with the black spool says it hold 750 yards of 130 lb and was thinking maybe you can get more with the chrome spool. And also which do you prefer? I've heard people say that the black spools can warp on a big fish from the heat.

Thanks

Chrome Spools Do Hold More Line Than Black, But Are Getting Harder To Find, Never Heard Of 14/0 Wraping Under Heat With Black Spools, One Thing For Sure With The Advances Of Line You Cant Follow The Old Guide Lines With Line Capacity, ie. I Just Filled My Penn Senator 10/0 With A Chrome Spool Up With Bullbuster 150.lb Line & Got About 700yds. With Enough To Put Another 100yds., Would Of Never Thought Of Using That Much Heavy Line On That Reel Back In The Days :idea: ;)

I would also choose a chrome spool because I like my reel parts made and machined in the US.

A 10/0 fits 700 yards of 150?!?! Then a 14/0 must hold like 1000 holy moly.

Nah,a 14/0 holds 900 max of 130. And Bullbuster doesn't make a 150lb test. Maybe it was a different brand with a super small diameter idk?

If you have a 14/0 fill it up with a 5lb spool of 125lb Bullbuster line for $100. You will actually have enough left that you can fill a 14/0 up twice. If you have a lot of cash to spend on line mamoi, but Bullbuster works great too.

So I could fit about 900 yards of 125 on there?
