Mattydanz Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Fun thing for excel nerds, or very picky anglers - use goal seek to get all of your reels exactly the same % fill Is that too pedantic? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ross Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Is there a quick app to install on your phone or computer for this line fill calculator ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTECHokie Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Two questions: 1. Regarding Note #3 directing the user to always use Berk. Big Game line diameters. Question: Is there any reason I can't use the exact line diameter from the manufacturer if they specify capacity in MM line diameter/Meters Capacity? I would just need to convert millimeters to inches and meters to yards correct? 2. The calculator is designed for Copper/Lead core mainlines. Can I use the calculator to estimate a reel set up with mono backing, braided mainline, and flourocarbon Leader? Is there something to the calculations/formulas specific to copper/leadcore lines?

Regarding Note #3: If the fishing reel you have states for example 300 M / 0.45 mm, you can use that info - but convert it to Yards and inches. So 300m x 1.09 = 336 yards. 0.45 mm / 25.4 = 0.0177 inches. Regarding using other line types. It isn't specific to line type. The red text boxes that say Backing/Core/Leader can be changed to say whatever you want. Just as long as you type in a diameter and a length in the respective boxes, it should work.
