oh, another thing to take into account... and i learned this the hard way.

you could spool your reel with mono.. or spool 3x as much braid on it and feel safe. but remember.. braid is VERY THIN AND STRONG AND CAN CUT THROUGH YOUR THUMB. i tried to spool 300yd of 40# spectra on my reel with only 50' of mono as a mini shock absorbant on my avet... and fish for rockfish in 200' of water. well.. reeling up the very first drop started to cut into my thumb. i had to wrap my thumb in a cut piece of cloth to prevent any more damage to it.
