Backing for 20 lb wire on SG 47 LC

[For Fun]

I am going to spool up a SG 47 LC reel with 1,000 feet of AFW 20 lb 1x7 wire for this year.

I know 1,000 feet of 30 lb fits very nicy on the SG 47 but I am wondering how much 30 lb mono or

40 lb pp i need to use in order for the 20 lb wire to fill the spool.

thanks for the help, Larry

I never bothered with backing when i used 20lb wire.

OK, does the 20 lb fill the 47 close to the top ???

Thanks, for the reply

about 3/4ths. I caught a ton of fish off the 20. I started having a lot of break offs, so I went to the 30. It didnt seem to matter with the counter. I just put it out and moved it around till i hooked up and then just repeated the counter.
