The rule is 10ft down for every 100ft of wire out. My reel was spooled with around 400ft wire (too much IMO), it's a work out bringing in a good fish, it's backbreaking when you pull a skate with a hook in its wing. Remember to keep the line tight, wire tangles happen real fast and can last real long.
