Spooling my makaira 15

[mak1]

Hi
I have a bulk spool of shimano power in sold as 88lb   or 0.41mm here in the UK how many meters should I get on my reel if done with all braid

MAK1, below is a line estimator, if you know the capacity of your reel in a specific line size this will get you close to what you will need.....Bill

thanks for that just looks at it but comes up as link broken


one thing iv noticed mono/braid is very often never the thickness it is stated at

It's rated at 550yds of 20# (.42mm) so you "should" get at least that much 80# spectra at .41mm.
