I'm comfortable anywhere over 200yds, but 300 makes me feel better.
Usually with my VS200 and VS250's I fill them up to the bottom of the ports on the front of the spool with mono and then fill the rest with braid. 15 or 20# mono for backing, I don't really care what kind. I never see it anyways except on the linewinder. I use a uni to uni knot to splice them together.
Take a good look down the field next time your standing in the end zone on a football field and think about the realities of having 200 yards of line out. There's a good chance you're screwed at that point anyways in rocky areas, imo. Sand would probably be a different story.
