Jim, its rough but on the 18000, you'll get roughly 300-330m of 80lb and around 240-270m of 100lb. I don't use TF XP 130lb so I don't know but I'd say it'd be in the vicinity 180-210m.

On the 20000, I'd say 350-380 of 80lb, around 290-320 of 100lb and aroudn 230-260 of 130lb.

Very happy for a TF XP user to correct me.
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Brandon would 180-210m of 130lb line be enough for poppering.
will the 20000sw spool fit on 18000sw.
cheers Jim
Jim, its rough but on the 18000, you'll get roughly 300-330m of 80lb and around 240-270m of 100lb. I don't use TF XP 130lb so I don't know but I'd say it'd be in the vicinity 180-210m.

On the 20000, I'd say 350-380 of 80lb, around 290-320 of 100lb and aroudn 230-260 of 130lb.

Very happy for a TF XP user to correct me.

ditto to Luke's comment, Jim
Of course, the caveat is that if you hook a 70kg New Caledonian GT that decides it wants to go, you could be in trouble!
