Center pin, loading line

[jmco]

 Hi, I'm new to center pin fishing. I got suffix advance monofilament for the main line. My question is do center pin reels typically use a braid backing, before loading on the main line. If so, what would be the proper poundage, and suggested manufacturer. My understanding of loading braid, has to do with the proper balance of the spool. Any info/ insight is appreciated, so I at least get off to a good start.

Thank's in advance, John

I use Dacron backing. it is mostly to help fill the spool

I use braid, and yes it's to fill up the spool, then put a full spool of mono, then tie your lead.

Thank's for the replies, it's appreciated, and knowing the reel is set up properly.

You should run 20lb Dacron. No need to waste expensive braid as a filler. 10lb main line will be what you want to run. Personally I like trilene xt low vis green. It’s super strong. I’ve been running it for 7 years now, and have had no complaints
