Rich,
You upgrade on that ugly green sweater?
So I'm reading your post, and Crappie.com is posting an advertisement.........
Look what they are advertising on my screen next to your post.......
When I saw that, my drink went viral out of my nostrils, from laughter......
Something your not telling US?

I would look "hot" in that outfit! You on the other hand would ignite in flames after 3 minutes in the sunlight! I believe those side photos come up based on cookies within your computer from things you have searched online? So, what have you been searching?Quote:

Kids started school, no ones home, ignore my shopping for the Mrs...... lol
If it were from a cookie it would be Engel Tumblers, That one that is out of stock, go figure, and Off Shore planer boards.
Not to mention some Calibration for Line counters, OH and how to apply for Student Loans, Middle School Class Schedules, Bus routes. Drop off dates and times for College, Lets not forget Migration of an entire SharePoint 2010 on Prem deployment to O365.
But enough Hocus Pocus, I need to go make my order...... LOL
You do know that your son owns/operates a particular web site. Within that site there is a blog. Within that blog there is a post on "how to calibrate line counter reels"... Just sayin! I know the guy the wrote that it.
You can never have enough Off Shore boards.
As for the tumblers, I could never keep a drink around long enough for me to worry about it getting warm (or cold).
Yup,
I was told that by Steve, and read it, along with about 50 others as well, and today, and only today, about 40 minutes ago, I sent Steve a Text telling him "I GET IT NOW", and understand.
Now I just need to get my backing and correct it.

Usually, when we run gear, we run the same thing on both sides. We always match gear up.
With diver rods, I always ran the size reels I gave you earlier this year. We used to run 50lb tiger braid. Once you get one calibrated correctly, write down what you did and do exactly the same thing on the other. We would usually get about 5 years on tiger braid (good stuff). Of course, we would also "lose" our recipe and have to start over too!
Lead core reels don't matter about calibration. On our smaller core reels (3 and 5 color) we used to use Penn 209's. We would run 30lb braid with a 10lb diameter as our backer. We then splice in our color followed by 30 to 50 feet of mono as a leader.
For 10 color, we used bigger reels (Penn 309's and GT 320's). We used mono for backer (Ande 30#) followed by our 10 colors, then 30 to 50 feet of mono leader (usually 30lb). Once you get the feel for what you need on one you can replicate it again and again.
For early season rigger fishing, we went with 20lb Ande line. Once summer got in to full swing, we switched over to 30# Ande.
Mono was key for us. We wanted that line stretch. Other guys running braid had issues with straightening hooks due to the lack of foregiveness in the line. I've never broken off a salmon, steelhead, coho, or laketrout out on big water. With mono, I set the hook and then torque the drag. I hated watching people fight the fisth for 45 minutes. You can bully them to the boat! I have however broken tons of rods!
Rich,
As i read more and watch more (Watched Lance Valentine calibrating to 100 foot in a parking lot.) I have more questions more along the lines of backing.......
I have 6 reels and they are all the same, so that is not an issue..... yet.
What I don't understand or can wrap my Polish head around is the backing.
Assuming I use 20 Mono from whomever to fill the reel with backing.
I get to calibration of 200 Foot for my rod with the Mono. at that point its "Correctly" calibrated.
I then add my braid on top of that? How is that braid going to NOT over fill the spool so that I have to much line on the reel? at that point I have to much on the reel and am out of calibration once again, correct? (Unless the smaller diameter braid makes it a possible non issue)?
Unless there is a Line size ratio where I can either mix/match mono/braid diameter, add X amount of Mono, then X amount of Braid to = Calibration?
Another thought is line Diameter. The reels take 310 yards of 25# mono.
Sufix (The Line I like) makes a Performance Braid 100# that is the same diameter equivalent of 25# Mono.
I could in theory spool up 300 yards of that and be dang close as well.
I can see that this is going to be a winter project for me for sure I think..... lol

SWEET,
Search the internet, troll through trash, and junk, and you may just find what you are looking for.........
So I was searching and found a spread sheet that someone made over in the greatlakesfisherman.com forum. His name is Eric Lang. I only take credit for finding this spread sheet on the internet.
Basically you enter in your numbers.......
So my Cabelas DepthMaster III Reels take 310 yards of line to fill it.
Enter 310 for the Yards.
Line Diameter for 25# Test is @ 0.020
Spreadsheet spits out 3.506 Cubic inches. to fill the reel.
So then we proceed to the next section.
I enter the spool backing line diameter size 40# Mono is 0.024
I enter the Core 30# Braid with a line diameter of .0.11
Leave the Leader set to ZERO.
Next box play with the numbers......
150 Yards of Mono, and 300 Yards of braid will fill the reel to 99% capacity.
& Should be CLOSE.
You can play around with the line yardage, and size as well, just use your favorite manufacturer of line, and look up the specs of line thickness.
Here is the spread sheet.... Hmmmm, Not sure how to upload a spreadsheet, so here is a link.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/85m3c0n27h...lator.xls?dl=0
Should make filling all reels easy for everybody.
I'm going to test, but not sure when.

Aaron,
I'm going to simplify this a ton for you!!!!!
Most of what you are doing is salmon fishing, right?
Most issues involving calibration come when people have one of two issues:
A: They have bigger reels than they need for the target species
B: They don't want to "spend" the money to fill a reel with line!
Easiest thing we did (for salmon fishing)..... FILL the reel with the length of line prescribed and check it. If it is good, you are good. Obviously, things change a little when you are using smaller diameter line but... you just put a little more of it on.
Backing is basically utilized to take up space. That is it.
If you noticed in my article, I talk about how much line "I" use when filling my walleye reels. Notice I said "FILLING". Yes, even though I don't need 1200 yards of line, I still FILL it with line. Far easier than putting on backing, and worrying about all that crap.
Once you FILL one the first time, you can go back year after year, strip off 500 feet (or whatever you want) and splice in new fresh line (we do this twice a year sometimes with walleye). And, guess what.... your backing is NOW there forever.
Too many times people want to start out with backing... With a fresh reel (no line) I would put the exact amount prescribed. From that point on, you can remove and splice in what you want every year. Backing forever.
Do yourself a huge favor. Spool your reels from the start with the exact amount of line that you use. Calibrate the first one to make sure your recipe is good and then do them all.
The next time you feel the need to change line, remove X number of feet from your reel, splice in new line, and wind it back on.
Walleye guys running size 40 reels that will take 2000 yards of 30# are more likely to start out with backing (they should) simply because they don't want to put on 5000 yards of 10lb.
