Flouro/Mono Topshots, how many, how long

I need to know what qty's you guys are taking....here's what I have so far:

Mono - All soft steel ultra spools
3EA 125# 50yard
2EA 150# 50yard
3EA 200# 25'

2EA 100# 75' Basil mono

Flouro:
1EA 130# 25'

I'm thinking of eventually cutting them all down to around 25'....what lengths are you guys using when you say "short"???

TIA

Sorry Dude missed this one.

As far as length - when most say short they mean 10-15'

I make mine about 30' and wind on less if I want shorter, Kite is 25' or less.

30' is what I have room for on my reels

Don't forget to leave a little room for lousy guide ons

As far as how many you saw the other post so hopefully that helps.

I make mine 50 foot but I guess it's what makes you feel comfortable. On my last 18 day I took 12-100's,10-130's and 4-150's, when I got back I had 4-100's,8-130's and 1-150 left. So for your 10 day you wont need that many but this should give you some kind of idea. Good Luck and Good Fishing
