Curious...

 

Reel: Shimano Scorpion DC 101 HG

Nylon Line Capacity (lb/m): 

12/120, 14/100, 16/85

Line: 300yds of Power Pro 50lb braid (Diameter = 12lb Mono diameter)

 

So I'm debating if I should spool my reel again. I ordered more line just in case, but it seems to me I have a fair amount of line left on 300yd plastic spool thing. I have a layer of mono on my reel spool; forgot what lb test. This will be my 4th time spooling line from the 300. According to the specs, Shimano Scorpion holds about 131 yds of 12lb nylon which its diameter is similar to 50lb braid.

 

I should've ran out the last time I spooled or close to running out. However, I have a a decent amount left...or it looks like it at least. I don't think I put that much mono on...maybe I did

 

Am I doing math wrong...is mono really taking up that much...am i missing something...

 

I think you are over thinking.

If you still have line on the supply spool - then just go with it. I don't worry about how much line I have left for spooling until I actually run out.

Ya, I always overthink. I am very OCD want things in and done in a specific way. For example, with this, I want to be fully spooled and not run out and be partially spooled.

I keep my reels @ 100% ALWAYS.  Remove approximately 60 yards and respool new line.

Same here. A goose was flying super low and flew into my line, got tangled and took a lot of line out this morning. Want to respool.
