Researching capacities on the old Loop/current Danielsson reels and have found a tremendous variance in information. I'm primarily trying to determine how much 20 lb. backing I can get on a LW 6Nine with a WF 6 or its equivalent. Read everything from WF 6 + 95 yds of 20 lb. (Cabelas 2004 fly fishing catalog) to WF 9 + 250 yds of 20 lb. (Feather-Craft Spring 2005 catalog). While some sources list capacity as a WF 7 + 150 yds 20 lb. (Kaufmann's 2005 catalog). Danielsson itself quotes yet another number. Obviously, those all can't be correct. Anyone know for sure?
Should have mentioned that the reel will be used for a one-handed rod and a light two-hander that works best with long belly single hander line. Just curious as to what I might shoot for in terms of 20 lb. dacron with the WF 6, and figured someone with more experience with the reel knew.
