Straight mono. You will be changing it so fast that you will go through a top shot very quickly, so what's the point. Spectra makes for lots of tangles and is a pain in the ass for both the crew and the beginner fisherman. Have you ever seen a bad backlash with spectra? It's ugly.

I had my non fishing uncle out on my boat last year. We got a tuna on a jig strike and while the line was screaming out right after the strike, he thought it was a good idea to flip that little lever thingy on the reel to make it stop. Instant spectra backlash. All I could do was cut it out.

Also spectra will cut the shit out of you. Do you want that liability? Its a long shot but with sue happy people these days you never know.

The best thing is to get a line manufacturer to sponsor your boat. Then you get the shit for free.
