  1. Might be a little under spooled , I like to keep mine like that tho because it reduces wind knots and other complications for me. To each their own, but even I might have put a bit more on.

    Yes. Yours in conveniently marked in blue to gold where you should be spooled (at minimum) to. I would have that braided line all the way around a dime to quarter into the gold, then FG knot, into a monofilament leader. Bc of the gf that runs easy through your guides, you can run a good amount of leader this way too, so the braid acts like a backer too.

    Anyhow… look for the colour change and go beyond it. Some have a line. Others have nothing. My granddad always said spool it to a nickel from the rim and add a leader.
