This is a Co-Polymer line, means low stretch, strength, and it casts without a memory. I use 4lb test for most applications and purchase it in 3000 yard spools from Cabelas. I tried a 10lb braid, Power pro, it was rated as the same size as 2lb mono, but it was thicker than the 4lb Berkley Silver Thread. I would stick with the mono line for spinning, if you go to bait-casting then try braid. It is a personal preference as you can see. Both work, it just depends on your impression of both.

I am assuming it is bass, since they're the #1 sport fish in the United States. My favorite line for a spinning reel would be monofilament. Get you a good 10 or 12 lb. mono (I like Berkley Trilene XL Smooth Cast) and spool that reel up with it. I have came to conclusions that Stren mono tends to "jump off the spool" when you spool it with it. Trilene never does this. But Trilene lacks that strength, and abrasion resistants. Happy fishing.

I put 8 lb fireline on one and 6lb mono on the other. If you have an ultra light go smaller and if you have a big reel you can go larger. But 6or8lb handles most anything in fresh water.

My reel is set using Stren monofilament 12 lb test. It works well for me. Since we don’t know what reel that you have, I’m going to give you what I usually use in my basic set up.

IDK what pound test your reel can hold so you can normally look where you adjust the drag and find the test. Stren Purple.
