I was spooling my new citica last night and was looking threw my box of half spools and found some line hoping it was enough. Well I don't think it was I only got half a spool on the citica. My question is do you guys mark how much line u took off the spool the first time so u know later if there's enough to spool another reel or just use it for leaders or backing. I had an idea that if when company's put lines on the spool the spool was molded or marked with lines for every like 50yards so you can simply look and say oh this ones got 100yds left or 50 or what ever.

I know that Sunline does that at the halfway mark on some of their lines.

I keep my line in the boxes on a pegboard and I have a simple system to have an idea how much line is left. If I've spooled a reel with a spool I tear off the right, top corner of the box. If I've spooled 2 reels I take the top left corner off too. After two reels most spools are going to be pretty much done unles they're 1/4lb or larger spools. So if I've spooled 2 reels with a spool I decide if I could use it for leader material or backing, if not I toss it.

When I spool up I make a rough estimate of line used by multiplying number of cranks by the reel's inches per turn and then write on the supply spool how much line I estimate is remaining. When I get down to the end for my last spooling I usually have more line left than I thought.
