Power Pro Line Capacity on an Okuma 45D ten color lead core

[momay4000]

Ladies/Gents,

Can anybody please tell me the maximum amnt. of Power Pro 50# braid I can pre-spool my Convector 45D with before I add ten colors of 27# leadcore and 75' of fluoro leader?

Thanks,

- Chris

I would guess you could fit a 300yd spool....

BUT there is something I have been wanting to try..

ok here it goes:

take the line diameter and capacity specs from the reel.. divide the diameters by 2 this gives you radius.. Use (pi x r^2 x L) to find the volume of the reel.. use this same method to calculate the volume of the leader and the core. and subtract these from the original volume.. now you will have to take the final volume and use L=(V/(pixr^2)) to calculate the backing length..now you need to make sure you keep all the same units.. for diameter and length of all the lines and when you calculate the volume of the reel.

If you decide to give this a try let me know how this goes...

You will be able to put a 300 yd spool of PP on & easily fit 10 colors of 27lb core on that reel.

I got a little over 300 yds of 40# pp, about 40' of 30 lb flourocarbon for releases, 10 colors of 27 lb and 50+ ' of 20lb flouro leader on mine ...

Just have your kids help you!

Yup I got a 45 Catalina with 300yds of 30lb 10 colours of 27 lead core and 25yds of 30lb floro as leader and just looking at now that's about all it can handle.
