Thanks. I was planning on learning how to cast with mono hopefulling advancing to a point where I felt comfortable with braid.

Just learn with braid, its much easier than mono.On that reel you could put plenty of 40 or 50 power pro, along with a little backing.Thats how mine was set up.Best way to learn is with something heavy on the end,then lighten up as you get better at it.With a nice heavy jig, you will look like a pro in no time.The lighter stuff can be tough, though.
