For two reels you will need plenty of backing. Like the other guy said cheap bulk spool of 30lb line will do the trick.

Backing definitely. Personally I prefer a thinner line such as .30 for backing as I think it sits better on the spool. Tried thicker in the past but the braid can bed down into it and i just don't think its sits as well.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
