3. I'd stick with original fused Fireline (20 or 30lb) and stay away from Power Pro, etc. It's stiffer, thicker and behaves a little better / more like mono
4. If you fish pencils a lot, it takes some extra care to have the line go on the spool with some tension so there are no really loose winds that might cause a wind knot.

There's a guy who fishes at the end of the B-way, uses Rangers only and uses a 650SS. He wears a glove on his right hand and retrieves his plug while keeping the line running through his thumb and 1st finger. I think the reel is loaded with Power Pro. Not sure his technique is necessary, but that all he does, watched him for a few years and he does not get knots.

I should add that after a very short time of practicing all these little does and don'ts, they become automatic and require no thought or effort. It's simply second nature... no big deal.
