[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 258899, member: 2369"] I ended up picking the Diawa Sealine LC3 47 size. One from the local shop for $80 and one from Amazon for $83. Spooled them up with Suffix leadcore (non 832) in 27# test. I tied and taped the leadcore to the spool and it filled the reel up with no backing needed and the line counter is dead on. Now I need to find a good quality small swivel to tie the end of the lead core to so I can attach the braid leader. Anyone recommend using a certain knot to tie the leadcore? Does the standard Palomar knot work? Do I need to strip out the lead first ?
