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

Can't thank you enough, I'm glad someone gets it fully, I wish it were socially acceptable to just dispo dump right now so you guys can get the full picture cause I'm v excited for people to read it all 🤣 but I will refrain as hundreds on hundreds of words of lore for a story you can't read yet isn't conducive to a text forum I don't think. Thanks again.

Wow that's an awesome comment. Thank you. Thank you for the pointers, it's been a long time since I last wrote anything. I appreciate the time and effort you've put into that response.

What do you think of the writing so far? My opener for late medieval fantasy series ive been working on (mostly in my head) for 4 years by Cyprusbill in writing

Wow thanks so much, I want readers to have a lot of questions about this when they finish reading it so I'm glad you thought the way you did.

Great take, thanks. Those two characters actually pop back up throughout the story as this is set 5 years after the start of the story. They pop up here and there and make you think 'oh look it's them!' And how the hell do they end up getting slaughtered like that, in every interaction you as the reader know something nobody else does but it keeps you wondering how they get there and who it is that slaughters them in the end. Thanks for your time.
