Hello to anyone seeing this - I am new here.
Question please - and as ever on internet forums, this may have been discussed in various threads, although I have been looking for some guidance for a few days now : I have fished with multipliers on my beach/shore/rock setups my whole life spooled with mono (I am old enough for braid to have come along when I was already set in my ways) although I do use braid on my spinning/lure setups which I spool up with 135/150m of J-Braid or J-Braid Grand.
Recently bought a Penn Battle II 8000 as my first venture into FS on one of my beach rods and am planning to spool with 79lb braid straight through - how much braid are you loading on yours?
I would assume at least the 270m/300m spools but perhaps even more to allow for a few losses before having to respool?
Also worried about the knot joining the braid to any backing becoming an issue if not spooled enough to bury this deep enough to endure a few breaks/losses?
And any comments regarding braid on a muliplier (I use SLOSH 20/30/50's) including general opinion as well as amount spooled, which I assume would be the same conceptually as the above 8000 FS question?
Thank you for any answers and guidance - time and money that is wasted experimenting are the reasons I am asking for a few opinions that I can step into
