Mono backing is for the big reels mostly. Examples would be tiagras, internationals, and MAKS. Really no need on small ones. I fill most of my reels besides my surface iron stuff with 65lb white izor to the top of the spool. Lexa 300 size reel, could go 50lb. Any lower and backlashes will suck.

Thanks

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Guess I know what to do now. Since I need to go to turners in the next few days, I'll take Delbrugge4 advice and get my reel spooled there. Hopefully, I get to meet a few of you guys on the water this season.
