For my "Bottom" fishing reels, I agree with Ryan

Since most reels will not fill the spool the braid (unless you want = $), I start with mono and finish with braid. A couple hundred yards of braid is all you need for most applications for in shore fishing. Off shore maybe a little more.

My tog reels and others have like 150 yds- that's it. I don't need more than that for my reeling applications. My saltist has like 500 yds spooled straight on, but it came like that when i bought it used. What on earth I will do with all that braid, I have no idea . Tiles maybe?

Put on a 20' windon leader for tilefish, jigging tuna , or use the loop to loop connection to add a 100' top shot for chunking tuna.
