dacron or spectra backing for an international 30

[controlled chaos]

thanks for all the responses guys. I am gonna go with the jb hollowcore, do a topshot of mono and call it good. How much line do you think the international 30tw will fit if I am using 80lb jb?

A 30 is going to hold tons of 80JB.I dont have penns so I cant give you a exact number. Check with Basil he will know. He also sells loop to loop top shots. My 30w 2s Alutecnos hold right at 750yds of JB130 plus a 100yd top shot. Watch the price!! The 80lb JB HC is way more than almost double the 130lb JB HC and the 100lb is priced somewhere in between. Just guessing I bet you could pack between 800-1000 yds of 80 on your 30tw...Mark

600 yards 80lb hollow plus 100 yards 80lb mono. Get 100 yards more line by going with 100lb hollow; it is less diameter than 80lb due to 12x vs 16x construction.

Basil you wouldn't happen to have a chart for JB capacities on the more popular trolling reels would you....Mark

Reel capacity chart here. These numbers represent a full reel of spectra. Adjust back depending on length and test of mono topshot.
