snap weights & 10 color core

[chowder]

Anybody clipping a snap weight to the powerpro backing on 10 color core to get it down another 10'? I use them w/ shorter cores to match another core that's taking hits but haven't tried them w/ long cores. I've got a pair of the large torpedoes but it it would be overkill for what I'm wanting to do & I've got lots of snap weights (yeah, I've got a 300' copper too but still not sure it works the same as the core, (sometimes better & sometimes worse - they just don't seem to do the same thing to me). Thanks, -Andy

What size reel holds 150 yds braid backing + the 10 color core and leader?

Okuma cv45D will handle plenty of Powerpro + the 10, but if you are buying a reel to run 10+ colors I'd get an Okuma cv55 & get/ install the high speed kit from Tuna's Reel troubles or just get a cv55 from him that has been modified. Another option is the Daiwa Saltist 55 which are very highly regarded but pricier.
