9/0 double dog

[Shark Hunter]

In anticipation of Santa's arrival. I think I'll do another double dog and a 7 stack.

Using Black Pearls gears on this one and Bryan's washers.
Alternating double ss dogs and sleeve.

Almost done, taken back apart several times and modified the plate.

Santa has came, I gave him a high five, some cookies and Milk. The Sun is coming up. Merry Christmas Everybody!

Merry Christmas Daron!

I just got a 9/0, I was pondering what spool it with when I'm finished.... How much 80 will it hold?

[Shark Hunter]

The 80lb mono I use is .090. So I'm guessing about 1000 yards. I know I have to crank my Butt off to get it filled up.

I don't know what diameter is typical for most 80 pound mono, but that's about double what the reel is supposed to hold. What brand line are you using?

I would like to get a thousand yards of 80 (or even 800) on my 9/0s. The Sealine is rated for 400 of 80, although it's been my experience that the Daiwa ratings are somewhat conservative.  My 115L with the one piece brass spool is a bit larger, but I can't find any estimates over 500 for it.

If you're using an IGFA 80 with a fine diameter,  I could see that accounting for some of the difference. Since I want to do some beach shark fishing next year,  tips like this are really useful.

That's just a Guess Doc. I think those mono ratings are incorrect, with todays thinner and stronger lines.
I won't go anything less than 80 for abrasion resistance.
