Notice the suggested line compacity for the Okuma CD-50:
Model Gear Ratio Capacity (yds/lb) CD-30 5.0:1 170/8 CD-50 4.5:1 220/12 CD-65 4.5:1 275/15 CD-90 4.5:1 330/25
These are the Power Pro Spec's:

[#ff0000](lb.)[/#ff0000][/size] [size 2]DIAMETER

Based on these factory specs, my CD-50 should have held all 330 yards of the 30lb power pro I purchased and spooled on it; but this was not the case, no where near. If I was lucky, I think I might have gotten 150 yard of the 300 yard spool on the reel. I was very disappointed with the misinformation. The problem is that I can't figure if the reel's spec's are off or if the Power Pro Diameter was off. What's the deal with that? I'm fixing to email both companies and get to the bottom of this. LOL, hopefully my hell raising will get one of the companies to fess up and replace my wasted 25 dollar spool of line. [unimpressed]
