The 712 is a reel you'd use 10 or 12# test mono on. You'd never get enough 20 or 25# mono on it. Probably less than 100 yards.
Try 14# Fireline on it. It's very strong (breaks at over 30#) and you'll probably get most of a 300 yard spool on the reel. The older Penns don't do well with most braids, but Fireline works like a charm.
