First off, longtime lurker, first time post'er. Thanks to all for such a great forum. I am getting ready to load a loop evotec 8twelve with a midspey 7/8, and am not sure how much backing I can get. Anyone else have this setup?
I have 200 yards+ of 50# gel spun poly on my 8twelve, and I often use MidSpey 9/10 on it, so it will handle your 7/8 without any trouble. Or you could go for @150 yards 30# Dacron as well.
