I back most of my reels half full with50 lb braid then fill the rest with mono.

But most of my reels are used with my baits100 yrds away. For the kayak and a 30 lb rig. 150 yrds of 65 lb braid and10 ft of 30 lb mono top shot and your good. Lighter reels might need more because the fish will be fighting your drag instead of just pulling the kayak and only burning drag when it heads straight down.
