Spooling braid

[CooldadE]

What tension should I have 80lb braid spooled to my reel ?

i would go 16 pounds. 

so the math works out like this.  the drag for an 80 pound class line weight reel would be 24 pounds at strike.  i set the line tensioner on the line winder to 2/3rds of the strike drag, which would be 16 pounds.  that is likely beyond the capacity of most shops.  so wind it up as tight as you can.

if you're ever in the neighborhood, we can spool it up here.

Thanks Alan !
The reel is new Avet HXJ Raptor and I bought at the sport show... with purchase I get 300 yards free braid spooled on said reel at Turners. I'll have them do the best they can. Then pay you a visit to check it out.
