I just picked up a medalist 1495DA in excellent condition. I plan to put

line on it, but was just wondering how much 20lb backing this reel will
hold.

With an WF8 you should get between 120-150 yards of 20# Micron on,

My Pflueger 1495½ holds 400 yards of Micron
i.e. your 1495 may hold much more than 150 yards.

Really?

Pflueger claimed 175 yards of 20# Micron for your reel, which was a full inch
thick, verses the 13/16" thick spool of a 1495, for which they claimed 150
yards...
