I would like to know if there is anybody whom can help me.

 I want to change to C+ hypercast line from awa-shima but the problem is whenever i reload my reels with new line i never get it filled to the brim with 300 meters of line or i only get 200 meters on the spool. is there any why to know that the space on the spool left is just enough for 300 meters or should you just keep on trying and reloading until you get it right. in other words I remove to much or to little of my backing.

please any help would be much apreciated

Only way I know of doing this is using......maths ...never thought youd hear that here!!!!  HOPE THIS HELPS

A cylinder with radius r units and height h units has a volume of V cubic units given by

​

[/align] Example 27 Find the volume of a cylindrical canister with radius 7 cm and height 12 cm.
Solution:

So mark your full c+ spools, then empty them and determine the lines volume (outside - inside)
Do the same with the OPEN area on your spools and minus the inner empty volume you dont use if the two almost match you should be very close

Yep its a schlep...

Its quite easy actually. Start of with winding your desired amount topshot onto the reel, and the topping it of with your backing. Then just reverse the process by respooling the line onto another spool. This would leave your topshot at the top.

If you are lazy, like I am, try and measure the amount of backing u put on after the first process. That way you don't need to keep on winding every spool twice. Hope this makes sence!

Hi, use a line meter when removing the old line, you then know how much has come off down to your backing. I dont know about that maths stuff, looks kinda weird lol.

 

[megafish]

line meter wont work....thickness.... use Dewaldts way, straight forward

 

[lourenslouw]

thanx dewalds think i will try your way it makes sense and could be the most accurate

That is the method that is most accurate.

I put on the 300m of Mainline.

I then put on 100m off a slightly thicker line, ie if I have 0.16mm as mainline I put on 0.21mm as the next line.

This makes the transition surface and helps cover the connection to the thicker line.

I now use 0.35-0.40 line as backing and fill the spool to the brim.

Now reverse the process. Take picture or even better measure the diameter of the spool with the backing on it, doing this gives you an immediate point of reference for all reels you are going to fill in the future with the same combinations of diameters.

Reel on the first 50m of the intermediate line thickness.

Now for a trade secret. Wind the remainder of the intermediate line on by hand and make a bulge over the middle 1/3 of the spool.

When you get to the end of the intermediate line make sure the join to the mainline is positioned right at the bottom of the spool and between the line and the frame of the spool.

Now wind on the line and it will bulge in the middle maximising line release without your line jumping off the spool which it would do if you filled it to this capacity without the bulge in the middle.

Tested and verified and if done correctly can add up to 10m in a cast, especially with light weights.

In future when replacing line, I first reverse the line ie reel this line onto another similarly spooled spool. Now the unused line that was attached to the intermediate line is on top and good to go (obviously cannot be done if you lose a lot of line from the original spool)

hi Craig thanx for the advise will do

PS. is there anything about fishing that you do not know?

 

[Enigma]

I learn something new everyday and that is why I love to share.

The more I share the more others share with me and the more I learn and I would think that by now you know I am a sponge when it comes to fishing Information.

This I was taught by my Protea Team mate in the World Carp Angling Champs we fished in Portugal, namely Dave Bishop.

 

[lourenslouw]

thanx for sharing all the valuable information i am sure alot of folks learend quite a lot from you i know i did

 

[dewalds]

Thanks for that tip Enigma! Allways something new for us to learn!

 

[lourenslouw]

used the way that Enigma reccomend and it really works great.

thanx for the advice

 

[delwynv]

if u give me the the specs of your line diameter
both the backing and main line and spool capacity
i'll work it out for you.
