Joe from SRI (where has he been?) once posted how to figure this out. It had to do with using the diameter of the mono and braid and calculating how much would fit on the reel. For example, if you used 20lb mono for backing, you'd need x yards to fill the spool with 300 yards of 50lb braid.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
