For a spinning reel u will be fine with whatever you choose. I would just use 6-8 lb maxima mono. Cheap and very good for trout. With braid you need a leader and why mess with it when your using spinning gear.
If you get a bait caster braid is a lot easier to cast. Good luck.
Oh, I see. So people don't usually use braided line on spinning reels? I thought braided line was just way to get more durable line that's not as prone to wearing through. I guess I need to read up on that more.
Braid is intended for spinning reels and trolling with a levelwind reel, not for casting with a levelwind reel. On a level-wind baitcaster, it supposedly digs in easily and causes all sorts of gremlins on subsequent casts. Don't know that as a fact, it's just what a Shimano rep told me about Power-Pro at an sporting goods show...
Braid is not stronger than any other line material. A 10-pound rated braid is supposed to break at around 10 pounds, just like any other line. If 10-pound braid broke at 20-pounds, or 15- or even 12-pounds, it wouldn't be a 10-pound rated line, would it?
I went to braid on my round casting reels. But I also use a fairly short leader tied onto a swivel. Does cast better usually than mono but found a problrm. The line get wet and digs down into the spool creating a casting problem. Might just be the wt line, 20#. Seems the problem is the line is to fine and when wet slippery. On a spinning reel I only use mono line and seldom over 4#. Mostly my spin fishing is for crappie any more but fished for trout a lot with 4# years ago. My son on the other hand, uses pretty much only spinniung and he has on braid. he likes it and with the line simply falling off the reel probably won't ever be a casting problem. Sometime's on a spinning reel the mono line can get a bit to hard and then it can cause serious problems casting as simply to much falls off the reel when you cast. never recall having tha problem with Ande or Berkley Tri Line and couple other's but don't recall whichnright now.Oh, I see.

I'm using braid now on my casting reels but not spinning. My son uses braid on his spinning reels. About durable, from what I read braid is not as durable. On the catfish site guys use braid with a good bit of heavier mono to better withstand abrassion on rocks ect. in the water. I u=se mono leader on my casting reels but lighter than the main line. Rather break the leader than the main line!Oh, I see. So people don't usually use braided line on spinning reels?
