sufix matrix pro: 30lb or 50lb

250m spool should see you $50 poorer, plus a bit left over for mono backing.

mate just bring the reel in and we can take your old line off, spool up the reel with the right amount of backing and all you have to pay for is the braid itself, we will spool it for free and there is no charge for the backing.
