it saves you some money... 300-350 yards of line is all you need when live baiting. So with the 100 yards of 20lb mono backing you can spool 200-250 yards of braid on top and doesn't sting as much if you get a birds nest or bust a fish off and loose a bunch of line. Re spooling 200yards of braid won't cost that much. The reason we don't with the vertical jigging setups is sometimes we jig in 400 feet for Tuna in the spring and if you hook up neat the bottom to a big fish your going to need that extra line. Our jigging setups have close to 400 yards on them. You can most definitely spool your entire reel with braid if you don't mind spending the extra cash.
