I put 100' on my jig poles, 20 pound berkley crystal. The spool is 1/2 way loaded with 12 mono, then the braid is put on top. I'm not worried about filling the spool up, I'm crappie fishing, they don't run far.

Once the line is on the spool, I rig as I usually do (1/2oz egg, bead and swivel). Then I measure out 10', I take a sharpie and make a 6" black mark, then I measure out to 15' (red mark) and 20' (blue mark) and 25' (green mark). Been fishing, I keep the mark at the waters surface. The jig is one 12-15" of 10 pound floro leader, it almost always breaks first.

this makes it real easy to tell where your jig is and how much line is out. I don't loose a lead but every few trips, so I'm good for a couple break offs before the system isn't spot on. But when it gets "off", I use that rod and give my guests the set ups that are accurate.
