People are telling me braid but I thought these reels were more designed for mono? I was thinking 80lb? Please help

Prob depend where your fishin and what for im runnin 24kg metro and yea mono

 I have dacron(igfa braid) on all mine with a topshot of mono fit more line on and only have to replace the topshot every so often not the whole spool 

Agree with fishcrazy I run 24 kg Tiagra mono on both of mine never had a drama

 How many meters of 24kg mono did you's fit on? Also sammy85 what pound dacro you running and how long is you topshot?

Issue Braid vs Mono on Big game is shock. Big fish hit hard and powerful and impart a shock to the line. Braid has no give/stretch so the line absorb all the shock, and hence can break or slip poor knots (all guilty at some stage of this). Mono has give/stretch and act as a shock absorber, just appears the better option.

But having said that I often use braid for trolling but with a long windon leader mono topshot. I use about 20m which has enough stretch to achieve what I am after. Then you have the rest as braid which I find with fighting a big game causes less water drag and less belly in the line because off this. Trying to achieve the best off both worlds.
