Knot Tellin Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have a couple convector 45's with ten colors of lead on them. Thinking about switching 1 over to a 300' copper. If I do how much backer can I get on the reel. I currently have 300 yards of 40lb power pro. Haven't decided whether to go 45 or 32#. I see the BRC 45# has a diameter of 0.033 and the 32 is 0.030. Should I be able to straight up switch them out with my 27# LC, it should have a dia of around 0.032? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITM Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I wouldn't put more than 225' of 45 lb on a 45, and preferably 150', a 55 is much better suited for longer lenghts than that. I think 300' of 32# would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 300' of 32# would fit.Yup 200 yards of 30# Power pro, a 10' piece of 40# mono to attach boards and 300' of 45# Bloodrun copper is perfect. You will never get 300' of 45# copper on a 45. Take a look at the reel fill calculator on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The reel fill calculator at the top of the page ( sticky ) is a handy tool. Takes the guess work out when spooling something new on your reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
