What prices are you paying for braid?

If you want to save cash, spool it with some cheap mono. There is no reason to put 500 yards of spectra on there....

Put 300yards of fat 40lb mono then fill the rest wih spectra. You'll most likel never see the mono unless you're going for humbolt once a year.

I have no reels that hold more than 250yards. I walk into Charkbait with $25 and a reel and they usually fill up whatever reel with 65# JB/Cortland, depending what they have in stock


Mono+Spectra is your best bet for large reels when on a budget
