Priority1 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Brian, It looks good. How many yds. of backer is on it? Big Kings sometimes make big runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep184 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 150yds power pr backer, I didn't think it was enough but thed guy that spooled said I'm good so if I bring a spooled reel back to him ill let him hear the first words that come to my mouth when that 30 lbs king runs to milwakee with everything lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ pluggin Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Nice setup Brian. Personally I would take the lead off and add some more mono backing. It never hurts to have more backing and I like to have mono to attach the board to. Also, the fuller the spool is the faster that 7 color is going to come in. Good luck with the new rig!

its an addiction Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I agree with KJ. I always put enough backing on my reel to fill up the whole spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep184 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Can iadd mono to thr power pro backer then to core without any issues? The 150 yds cost 18 bucks and I would hate to flush that much money in line!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ pluggin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yep, that's how all mine are setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLubbs Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 My 7 color setup had 200 yards of 30lb powerpro and then however much 40lb mono i needed to fill it the rest of the way. To me it looks that you will want some more backer just to fill the spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
