What is the mono to braid conversion like 12:24 or is it like 12:12 cause everyone seems to be using heavy braid on reels that don't state they can take that much.

Reel capacities are based on mono diameter, not the strength. That is way it shows X number of yards of X pound test mono. The larger the diameter/pound test, the lesser amount of line it will hold.

You can use the mono diameter equivalent of braid to see how much braid it will hold.

Thanks I have been scratching my head for many nights over that. ;D ;D ;D
