Wouldn't hurt to do a little bit of mono first but just a little! I run braid on all of my reels and have never had a problem. Braid is suppose to give you more line capacity so let it. Don't worry about saving $10 braid lasts for 5 years. Get 65# braid

on a reel as small as the Lexa 300 you might as well just fill it to the brim with braid. I would start with a few yards of mono just to keep the braid from slipping and top off the rest with braid.
