I just spooled my reel up with new line it's rated for 125 yards of 14lb test I filled it almost all the way to the top of the spool and tied it off to a fence post and started walking out the line to stretch it to my reel so the line doesn't dig in and so it forms to my reel it helps with backlashes.. But when I get to the very end of my spool it's only about 60-75 yards of line do the manufactures of these reels actually test how much line they really hold or do they just guess
I'm using Cajun red 14 pound test it's a little thinner than most others rated at the same test anybody else notice this with your reels
