I start out with about 10-11 feet of heavy mono, enough to leave me three feet of hang when the mono to braid knot is just outside of my conventional reel. I like the extra length to help avoid rock cutoffs, but mostly because it makes it easier to handle the line when retrieving and releasing fish from the rockpiles.

I have seen knots cause problems with the guides on spinning rods, but never on conventional gear.
