Braid, Flourocarbon, Spectra... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey all. I would like to put some new line on my reels in preparation for a LJ trip. I am pretty old school and was raised on monofiliament. There's all this new stuff now, Braided line, flouro carbon, spectra etc... If I would like to maybe throw a surface iron or yoyo, what should I be using? If I want to drop a mackeral or some other bait fish down to the bottom, what should I be using? For that matter, if I want to flyline a bait, again, what are people using for that? Is Spectra a braided line? What pound tests should I be using? The same question applies to flouro leaders. What types and pound tests should I be using? I plan on shopping via Bass Pro shop site because I got gift certificate for gifts. Any info is appreciated!
