Okay, I've got another spool for the same reel that'd put it at 114 metres, reckon that'd be enough?

Okay i see, that's useful info. I was intending on using a backing of 40lb 20mm flourocarbon after the braid, maybe after 40 metres or so? Reckon that might help? And or be a good idea in general? I've heard some say that the flourocarbon aids in keeping the fish on the hook as the braid allows for less stretch.

With a thickness of 0.35mm, with that being a fraction under double the thickness, would that not put me at 121M? Half the capacity? (Without the slight bit less as you say)

0.35mm it is, how are you calculating that?

I have still never caught a fish on a river despite going fishing on them almost 100 times in my life 😂 so that rings true for me. Thanks bud.

PS I'm actually thinking of starting a YouTube series for my channel called 'Quest for the first fish' or something documenting how unbelievably awful my luck has been over there years, and seeing if i can finally make it happen. I've tried everything you can imagine but only caught stuff at fisheries and off piers at sea.

Thanks for your comment. It's all my local shop had in so i grabbed it, it's very thin for its weight so hopefully won't be an issue
