Is This Filled Up Enough Or Does It Need More Backing

[Brodie_S]

I recently filled up my Stradic 1000 with 150m of 6lb braid and like 10-15 metres of light mono backing looked slightly under filled will probably take the braid off and put it on another reel and add some more backing and then put the braid back in to get it %100 full 

sorry for blurry photos best pictures I could get but I might just keep it how it is not sure as of yet

Looks rather full to me

Yea it’s close but I usually would Fill it up a bit more

It looks ok at the moment but you might find that, as you use it, it get tighter on the spool and is less full. This will decrease casting distances. 

Its a bit of a pain to take it off and put it back on but you can use an Alvey to do this.

Hey Breaming with bro

Like GregOug said, it looks full to me. 150 metres of line should be enough, with some backing. 

Like Drop Bear said though, just keep in mind that as you loose more and more line you'll have a harder time casting.

Yea will probably add more backing after I use it once or twice to avoid this problem

Depends what kind of casting distance you want.

To maximise your distance you will want a bit more especially if you are casting a light (finesse) lures.

If you are bait fishing with a sinker i wouldn't be as fussed. As others have mentioned after a few snags or bust offs the line may be a bit too low.

The Alvey works alright for stripping line, but if you’ve got a cordless drill, that’s even better.

I just use a short piece of booker rod and a couple of nuts, you could achieve the same result with a long bolt too.
