I'm looking forward to seeing how much line these bad boys can hold!

I am pricing out a 1000 ft of 200lbs of JB hollow braid from Lee. I will top it off with 150lbs of mono.

If you put 1000 ft of JB hollow braid on it first then top it with 150 mono you better get one big spool of mono !!!  And say good by to the JB hollow cause you will probably never see it again !!  Lol !!!

I did find 200lb and 300lb mono for $220 but it's enough to do 3 or 4 reels ;D

I bet it will seriously hold a mile of 130, or close...a 16/0 will hold 11-1200 yds.

Chris, I think you will need 12k yd spool of Cajun :)

QuoteIm going with 8 miles of 6lb Red Cajun.

That's monofilament, right? I'll bet you get get more on if it was 6# Spectra....

I didn't get one because I would have no practical use for it by I agree with some of the members with backing it with good old fashioned Dacron. Easy to splice heavy mono into it, less costly than spectra and will fill the spool easier.. JMO

I'm thinking this spool is going to have a large arbor.
It should be about the size of a 18/0 Everol spool.
The specs on that spool show it holds 1500 Yards of 200lb mono. Not True.
It holds more like 900. That is 1.5mm Diameter.
If you spool it with 130. The capacity is going to be the same as stock due to the large arbor of the spool.
With the full frame and beefed up spool, it is going to be a much stronger reel.

Daron, Everol's specs may be based on the Italian "Asso" mono fishing line which is marketed in the US as "Soft Steel". It has a lower diameter for it's listed breaking strength but probably not quite as much of a difference as you are stating.
Someone should be the "Guinea pig" and go first spooling the reel and then the others will have a better guesstimate on how they will spool theirs.

thanks for the info :D 20/0 Everol specs was 1000yds of 300lb,,,,this is a game changer,,,,,but for the good "stronger"  ;D

Shark Hunter

The 20/0 Everol is a Bigger reel. The Side Plate Diameter is much Larger.
Imagine a Gallon of Paint with a Handle on it. ;)
18/0 is the same width.

Shark Hunter, that pic of the two Godfathers is one of the all time classics.
