I've been using Trilene Big Game Solar for 2 years and absolutely love it. We have a store close by that sells the 4700 YARD spools for $33.

I use 12 lb Ande color is envy green. Bought a half pound spool for about 25 bucks. I also use it on my jig poles.

I do like Hotrod.... Put 300'-400' on mine, not full. I don't care if its "accurate", just as long as they are all the same.

Your way is fine if you have no friends. My buddies and I all spool the same so when sharing info we are all the same. Fill the spool up

Ok, thanks for the replies, I appreciate the info.

I put 400' of braid on my reels after the backing. With planers, you have to free-spool lots of line out to clear the other boards when you catch a fish on the outside board.
