Why the hell does anyone want to make the most basic thing complex. With all the money we spend on rods , reels , tackle and vehicles why get cheap with freaking line? That's what I do. Only time I measure anything is on fly reels where the line has to end up just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddo50plus Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks everyone. I like the math from salt deficient. Tlap21 seems to get the same result (but I can't follow the numbers/symbols). I guess I have a problem with waste. The Diawa BG 4000 is braid ready (has a soft rubber? ring at center of spool). That's to prevent the braid slipping which is the same reason to have some mono backing, right? Maybe I'll just fill it with braid and save the leftover in a box somewhere where is may be of used someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
