I like blue Diamond Braid in 40 or 50 lb. Less wind knots, will pull a good size boulder to your feet if needed. I use 20 lb Momoi Diamond mono for a leader; it tests at 39 lbs actual breaking strength. Double uni knot to connect leader to braid and you're good to go. I also use this for bouncing jigs along rocky riprap for rockfish, greenling and other stuff and for twitching jigs for salmon and char. But unlike many, I don't use a very long stick. I actually prefer a 6'6" to 7' spinning rod for spinner fishing or jig bouncing.
