I would either load it with 80lb braid with a topshot of 150 yards of 100lb mono or load it all with 50lb mono. I used 50lb mono and i haven't had any troubles with it, and mono is cheaper than braid.

You can ask 50 people and they will give you 50 different answers on this question.

A common thing seems to be 80 or 100 mainline mono (maybe bull buster) and 100 or 130 top shot

fill it with braid than a top shot of 100pound bullbuster or 80pound andes.youll get a lot more line capacity with the braid on the bottom! :D :)

I have mine spooled with 600 yds JB Hollow braid and topped off with 100 lb Hi Seas Mono. We landed this 8'10" bull on it last Sept.

I do strait 80 mono on my reel you should get somewhere around 500 np and that's plenty for a 9/0 IMO if you want more line buy a bigger reel!
