Spooled it with the j braid x4 65# I had. It took 300 yards using my non professional spool method crank the spool down in an assembly with a bolt and some washers and create resistance, then turn drag up on the reel and reel it onto the reel and off of the spool. I topped it off with about 20' leader of 30# mono. I'm going to drop a big weight deep tomorrow and reel it back up to tighten it up the braid and see if I can make the room for a leader. I jammed the lever to full and tested pulling a decent amount of line off and didn't get any dig ins, that was a good sign. Fwiw I typically spool my reels like this and never have issues, I'm wondering if this braid is thicker than it claims. I will need to mic it at some point and find out.
