And what pound backing are we running rob? I have two 553s i am going to put 40lb braid 150yds on both. Hopefully 500ft 45lb bloodrun on one and 400 on the other.

The easiest way to fill a reel completely if to spool it in reverse so the last thing that goes on is your backing, then transfer it to a second reel. As you fill the second reel, note the reading on the reels counter where the backing splices to the copper so you can use that number to fill more of the same size reels. If you only have 1 reel to fill, you can still transfer the line onto a spool, then a second spool, then finally your reel.

 

Keep a log for future refills. Easy.

 

Remeber the number on the counter will not be accurate when your putting on backer. It's only close to accurate when the spool is filled. Your just using the number for reference.
