I use 6# test on almost everything. IMO, the 10# is way overkill. The trick with spoiling up spinning reels is to turn your spool of line on its side and reel the line into your reel without your line spoil spinning. This may not make sense as it's hard for me to explain. Instead of putting a pencil or whatever through your spool of line and reeling it off, turn your spool sideways so that it comes off in the direction u want it to. There's only 1 right way to do it, the other way will lead to line jumping off too.
