Since you only have size 27 reels I say the 832 Advanced.
Your reels are smaller and you will get deeper with less line, meaning you can get more depth with the line you do have on the reel.
It dives about 6-7 feet per color whereas the performance only hit about 5′ per color. So depending on how deep you want to get will depend on how many colors you need (or can fit on a 27).
5 colors (half spool) should fit on a 27 reel for you. That will get you 30-35′ down plus any dive curve for the lure/leader combo you are running.
My advice is to start backwards for filling your reels to get your backing numbers figured out. This method is the most accurate but does take some visualization for some to see how it all works out-
-spool 30′ of a floro leader in your choice of # (10-14 or a super line)
– Tie that to the 832 then spool 5 colors on the reel.
– Tie a heavier than the LC mono backer on then fill the reel. (make sure you measure the backer as you will need the measurement later, I use arm lengths in most cases.
– then transfer what you just spooled onto the empty reel. So the heavy backer will now be on the bottom of the spool, then your LC and then the leader will be last or on top.
You will now have the correct length of mono backer as you found that number from measuring what it took to top off the spool. You now spool the last reel in the correct/ traditional order starting with the heavy Mono of the same length you put on the other reel.
Look on google or you tube for knots to use between LC and mono: willis, uni to uni or a small #10 swivel.
I say 12-18# 832 Advanced would be fine for your LC #.
