How do I know how much braid these reels will hold so I know how big a spool to order. Someone has got to have this down to a science by now...huh...or is there a "braid chart" somewhere?
How will PowerPro change the way I fish?
In addition to enhancing your enjoyment and increasing your catch, PowerPro slightly changes the way you set up for a day of fishing. PowerPro works great with any kind of reel, so you don't need any special equipment. Still, switching from mono to PowerPro is like trading your fly swatter in for a two-by-four: it takes a little care to get used to all that extra power!

So, check your reel capacity for the approximate mono equivalent (65# spectra = 16 lb mono and do the math: 300yds of 65# = ~300yds16# and vice-versa.
