3. Try to just stick with a good monofilament line.

I've never been a fan of braided line, especially when it comes to true baitcaster reels. If you just purchase a stronger/thicker mono line it will be about the same effect. And the arbor knot is your best bet as the other postet mentioned. I recommend Stren, personally, but I like SpiderWire mono as well. What do you fish for usually?
