Hi Wan,
I have varivas GT Max PE8 on 2 SOM 16K spools and was able to get 260m on each though stripped them back to 250m for safer casting. I put the line on manually but as tight as i can get it.
Sure you did not mis-count the markings?
250m
this must be "motorized-handaligned-spooled" coz tried by using the reel itself on SMP#8, can pack only ~210m.
Andy, didnt miscount the marking.
Did pack SMP PE#8 with motorized-handaligned-spooled" this morning on SOM No Limit 16000, very high tension, managed ~220m.
Also packed SOM 20000 No Limit with the same SMP#8, manage 350m. Got balance ~ 30m of unused very ridiculous expensive line.
Maybe SMP diameter is larger than Avani GT?
cheers
