Scruffy, you are dead on with the amount of backing. It was quite frustrating trying to spool them at first till we learned that the little book that comes with the reel LIES![laugh][laugh]
On my LA II I have my 4wt and 5wt line and 20lb backing. The book says I will get 75 on the 4 and 50 on the 5wt. It is more like 50 for the 4wt and 30 on the 5wt. But keep in mind this is yards so even at 30 that is 150 ft.
