Mono for spinning real

Just need to make sure the line is spooled on correctly.......Take to your local tackle shop.

30lb power pro for newbies. 20lb for expert. Mono higher than 8 lb is disaster on spinning reels.

Thanks guys

Sorry if this has been said but, when putting line on a spinning reel the line should come of the spool in the opposite direction as the reel. Example, if the reel spins clockwise the line should come off counterclockwise . Hold the spool so you are looking at the front of it not the sides.

Also manually close the bail, less stress on the reel and you won't get loops like you do turning the handle. Make this a habit and it will come naturally and fast.

you will have loops, I like to call them assholes, from time to time.

Braid has the tendency to tangle like thread sometimes (hence I suggest the 30# rather than the 20#), but usually does so more around the terminal end (cork, hook, etc).

In my experience, it doesn't twist and make assholes like mono does.

And it's so thin that you can put a ton of it on a reel, so if you need to cut it, you are losing a smaller fraction of the line.

It's a little trickier to spool, so I'd get your tackle store to do the first (or all of them) for you.

To me, it's much more sensitive and more enjoyable to fish. Good luck either way.

I use mono on every reel. It catches fish just as good as braid.
