Can I put 400 copper on my cv45?

Will I have enough backing?Can you run mono backing or should it be powerpro,Thanks guys.

you will be nowheres close
i was able to squeeze 150ft of copper behind enough backing on a 45

nope get a cv 55 it'll do it with 1000 ' 50lb braid.

Agreed with Karl 100% Other options would include the Clarion 553L (roughly $120) or a Tekota 700/800 (roughly $250)

700 takota take 300 section with backing you have to move up to the 800 for 400 and 450 sections.

Thanks guys.I will have to pick up a 55 then.I guess i will use the 45 for my 10 colour.Do you think a 300 yard spool of 50# pp is enough backing or should i take it to a shop for a little more?Thanks again,I will pay you back with some TRUE reports later on!

300 yards in fine Jesse. Good luck with it.....let us know how you do!

Thanks guys,my reels all came in that i ordered.I stayed with convectors.Is this figure of 1000' for 30 or 45# copper.I bought a spool of 45 so i dont want to put too much backing on it.

It's for the 45lb dude. I just rigged up a 400' foot section on a clarion 553. I put 300 yds (900') of 50lb pp with a small bit of mono backing, my 400' of 45lb copper and 25' floro. leader. Filled her up nice and full. I do need to let this rig out with some weight/dipsey though to get her nice and snug on the spool.

thanks tyee..

I just tried to put 400' of #45 copper on my 55L that was supposed to have 900' of 50#PP.I did not come close.I ended up winding the copper back on to the spool by hand & removed ? amount of backing(I guess 200').I then tried the copper again and still came up over full.Next was peeling back some copper & cuting it so i could fit some leader.I still have to measure but i think i just wasted about 75-100'.I took a better look at the package the A-Tom-Mik copper came in & it says only 600' of #50 PP backing.I don't know how others used as much backing as they did?A very frustrating evening but i hope the first fish on the copper is worth it! Is it possible the busy line clinic put on too much backing?I can't see them giving out free line.

sorry jesse the cv 55 holds a little less backing than the 553 .the 553 will take 1000'

No problem,Im just trying to find out what went wrong so others can spool up hassle free!
