time to do some maintenance on my mooching reels. I have shimano GT2000 and GT4000 mooching reels. Pulled the reels apart, cleaned and lubricate/greased the components. Now time to re-spool. The reels have always had straight 30lb mono. I am thinking of putting some backing onto it so that I can more frequently swap out new mono. I called a tackle shop and the guy told me to just go straight mono and cut off 10-15 feet each time I go out. Wondering how everyone sets up their line for their mooching reels and why you do it that way.
