So I bought the shimano ultegra 2000. How much drag does this have? 

 

I also want to use braided line? Any recommendation? I'd just like to say thank you to everyone! You made my life so much easier!

    Sufix 832 is choice braid, round, well-behaved, good FEP coating.

    Spool capacity of the Ultegra 2000 is 110 m 0.15 mm dia; 80 m 0.17 mm dia

    That corresponds to 6-lb or 8-lb Sufix 832. 

    YGK X-braid is excellent, higher test for the same diameter, and has found its way on all my spinning reels. 

     

    The Ultegra has more drag than you need.  If you set with a spring balance, you should set drag to 1/4 of your weakest link, line test, leader test, or rod max line rating.
