Braid is better at almost everything except the one thing that matters when a fish surges at your feet, which is stretch. Mono gives, and that give is what stops a hook pulling in the shorebreak. Thirty pound is the standard surf shock leader and a perfectly good mainline on a big reel. Three hundred and thirty yards, which fills most spools with some left over.
