A guy on the spoonpulls site said he has 500 feet of .037 45lb with 950 feet of 30 lb braid backing even if you go to 50lb you'll have room.

I got the same reel with 475ft copper with a 150yds of powerpro 50# backing and it is tight. To be real honest I would not go any more then 450 ft of copper and put the extra backing on.

U know what they say "if it ain't tight it ain't right"
