ODgreen Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Gonna put 30lb braid on my pro qualifier. So how much can I put on it? Quote
bwell Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I put 65# on mine and I can put quite a bit on it, but as far as how much I am not sure... Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 Gonna put 30lb braid on my pro qualifier. So how much can I put on it? The PQ, according to specs, holds 120 yds of 10# mono. 10# mono is ~.012" in diameter. 30# Power Pro is .011" in diameter. 120x.012=1.44 1.44 divided by.011=131 The reel will hold ~131 yds of 30# braid.

Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 22, 2010 Super User Posted April 22, 2010 So thats what those silly math classes were for in school. Calculating reel capacity. Man, if I had only thought about it that way before..... Quote

Man, if I had only thought about it that way before..... I didn't pay much attention to that sort of thing in school either. I took just enough math to meet the minimum requirements. Raul posted this formula a while back and I thought it would be useful to remember. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 23, 2010 Super User Posted April 23, 2010 I put 110 yards of 50/10 power pro on mine for froggin'. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 23, 2010 Super User Posted April 23, 2010 Where did he say he was gonna use Power Pro..? BTW, 55lb samuri braid has the same dfiameter as 10 lb mono..why use 30 lb..? Quote

I just picked one as an example. I assumed all 30# braids are similar. The math works in any case. 8-) Quote

BassThumb Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 60% mono backing, 40% braid. So about 50 yards I'd say. Quote
ODgreen Posted April 24, 2010 Author Posted April 24, 2010 I'm using 30# ez braid. Because that was the heaviest wal mart had when i went through there at 1 am. I didn't put too much on there because it started bunching up on the right side to the point that it looked full on one side and barely on the other. But I use it for frogin as well. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 25, 2010 Super User Posted April 25, 2010 You only need about 20 yards of backing. Quote
