If you go with mono step up to 60lb. I have my 50ws filled with 130lb jerry brown hollow core. 1000yds with short top shot of 50yd of 130 flouro. I fish short leaders on ballbearing snaps about 8ft 200-300lb. If you like a lighter drag thats ok but with 50lb mono you cant put the heat on if you need to :sad: With the heavy braid you can sock it up if you have to

and still have lots of line cap.
as NF said opinions will varry
