The above chart is spot on for a super safe setup. Personally i think 650' of 65lb braid is a bit over the top safe but if you are comfortable with only 300' of 30lb braid backing you can squeeze a full 10 colors on a 30 size. I had a coldwater 30 with 10 colors on it, after coming very close to getting spooled on it last year I will be changing it to an 8 color this year.

I just had a tackle shop do a 7 color with mirco no problem on a 30 size
