I generally use 50 power pro on mine - fairly happt with the PP... For mono I use 20# Big Game but linke mentioned above, you can get close to the end with that. On an extremely rare occasion with my 1205 and something balistically pleasing I have damn near dumped the whole spool with it....

I use 50# PP and 35# spectron on both of mine. I like the spectron better because it is more forgiving and more abrasion resistent. I agree with Saltheart.

I have always used 20# big game. I like the way mono feels with plugging a lot more than braid. I have tried using the 17# big game but it has a bit more stretch than the 20#. SO I take the chance of only having about 160 yards of line. I have not run into problems with the lack of line.....yet. I just fish a abu 7000 or spinning with power pro when I need a lot of line.
