Line capacity confusion (JDM steez)

[fishes]

Advanced notice: I'm sure this is a stupid question but,
Im looking at the steez SV 105 and the line capacity reads, "12lb 40m-80m". I have no clue what that means. Can anyone clear up my confusion?

heres where I say it-

They give you a range because each manufacturers 12# mono is a different diameter.

Adam could be on to something, line diameter variation is ridiculous. But it could also be suggested fill application, designed to work best between 40 and 80. Who knows...? Just know both scenario and you know what you've got. Peace!

Haven't seen spool in question. My guess, however is that it has a line or groove machined into the spool sides. Fill to line (40m) for more finesse applications gives a lighter total spool/line weight, fill to near lip for applications requiring more line (80m). I think the SV spool is regarded as a versatile spool for multiple use. Line capacity will also be shown using Japanese spec lines. They will generally be thinner per breaking strain than other markets.

this is for all sv spools. they have a line half way up the spool , and give 2 different line capacities for half fill and full fill of line, It is recommended to half fill the spool when using the spool for finesse purposes.
