we have super braid on our
we have super braid on our winches, reef queen and reef master, we did use k braid but found too much drag. also with super braid you can fit a whole lot more on them and still be able to use as a hand line to start off fighting the fish

generally you put them where
generally you put them where your likely to fish as long as they dont get in the way when fishing with a rod as well. we have the queen midship on port side and the master on the corner of port and stern which leaves plenty of room to fish with the rods. do you have the rail mount or the gunwall mount

Dacron braid is another good
Dacron braid is another good option and its not as thin as braid.
This makes it easier to handle when fishing and still fairly thin compared to mono and not to mention next to no strectch.
Also its a much cheaper option to braid.
For the Reefmaster, you can go 80lb and how deep you planning to use it to?

i will only be in 100-200m of water so i think about 500m or 600m of line will do the job.

Dacron is cheap and the line
Dacron is cheap and the line drag won't be a big deal in those depths.

In that depth Rocky the 80lb
In that depth Rocky the 80lb dacron with 600m is ideal. That way if you bust off in that depth it gives you enough to fish the rest of the day ie backup.

dacron would be good
and a straight paternoster rig with more than one hook (up to three) and lots of lead for deep depths. Don't want to lose bait straight away on one hook.
I would recommend a plastic squid too (lumo) adds some attraction and if you lose your baiit gives you a second chance.
Wise man says - first take the plank out of your own eye before trying to take the speck out of somebody else's.

Lumo squid really excel in
Lumo squid really excel in deep water if you want to loose hooks to Leatherjackets.

Dacron is thicker in diameter
Dacron is thicker in diameter when compared to other low strecth lines so try to keep the line class poundage down so to minimize drift drag which is an issue when using winches/heavier lines.

Go dacron
K-Braid is very thick, you get alot of drift drag through the water with it so the dacron being thinner is a better option.

i would certainly be going with 130lb
dacron at least before we upgraded to the electric reels we ran 150lb dacron on our winches! and find some good circle hooks we use between 10/0 and 20/0 depending on what we are targeting but usually a 15/0 and a 13/0 snelled! on a paternoster rig with two baits! usually one smaller and one larger!
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!
