I was going to tell you what Travis already said. On a Shimano 1000 series reel I can get about 240 yards of SOS 2# test line on one of those.....SOS line has a pretty small diameter. I wold hate to fill the next size reel up with 2# test.......LOL. With NanoFil I have to put about 150 yards of backing on my reel before spooling up with NanoFil. Probably best to buy a smaller reel....IMHO.
