Braid
Go with a top shot of ten to twenty pound flouro in the bay. The larger line gets bit well. I like to use a topshot because mono and flouro knots are more secure than straight braid. And if you get hung up on that lost outboard the braid is a bitch to break off.

With light braid you can probably get away with straight tie as long as its not a crazy color. I like to use a leader because I think its more invisible but more important if you hang up and something is going to break I would want it to be the leader. On my bass set ups I use a solid ring and a 20-30 inch leader. I tie the ring to the spectra with a palomar knot and leave it there. I store my rod with the line through the guides and the ring at the tip. Its great using a line that does not have memory.
