300 yards of 65lb PP on a 6500C3?

**HastingsIsland** · 03-26-2012, 07:03 PM

Anyone know if a whole 300 yard spool of 65lb power pro will fit on a Abu 6500C3? Scored a sweet deal on it on eBay so I bought it. Want to know if it fits so that if it doesn't I know I suck at spooling lol thanks guys

No, about 180 yards or so.

I can spool 150 yards of #65 Power Pro on my Abu 6500 reels.

so if i actually wanted 300 yards of something on here it would prolly be 30 lb braid maybe even 40 im guessing

You can get 200 yards of 50lb power pro on an ABU 6500.

Thanks I scored a roll of 50lb PP and and I'm spooling it up tomorrow!

They stop at the knot? Like the reel takes the whole 200 yards off the spool. Sorry im barely getting to know correct fishing language lol

Is this thread about spool capacity or distance casting?
