I just got a 1492 (Courtesy of mnklagoon) and when I put the backing on, I ran it up to where it covered the first set of holes completely on the spool. It seems to work better this way than the original way I had it which had very little on it. It has a #4 wt. line and it didn't quite reach the outer diameter of the spool. It was below it by 1/8-1/4 inch.



Hope this helps.
