I like the braid because it is much thinner then mono and cuts the water when the current is running, Less line drag for better bottom holding.
I determin how much line I want on my reel. For fluke I don't need mush more then 150 feet as they are in aboue 30 to 50 feet of water. ( I try to put avrage feet of water fished X 3 so I have pleanty in the event of break off) Using a line counter I reel on the 150 feet. Then I tie on the backing and fill the reel. Then I transfer the line off to another reel then back to the oringal reel. Now I have the backing on bottom and line on top with rt amount of backing. It seems like alot, but the backing will be just what you want and all you have to do in the furture is replace top line.
Works for me.
