55 is not very common, try 50 or 65

50 will do anything you need it to do. All I can say is invest in a good reel with a smooth drag

surface iron - dont put braid on it. Go 40XXX Izor.
yoyo iron - 65lb Izor just my opinion. Unless you never ever, ever backlash or unless you have a boat load of iron. Each back lash with braid = 1 iron donated to the sea

I've got a couple of psw809h's. For throwing iron, your best bet is to have more mono than your casting distance so you're not casting with the spectra and the spectra is for backing. 50# spectra is fine with 40# mono and will give you more backing than 65# spectra. So probably 200yds of 50# spectra + 100yds of 40# will get it done. Besides, Diawa is awfully proud of that 55# spectra! An alternative is to go with all spectra with a 3' leader. I'd go with mono since it's not a stealthy presentation. I only use fluoro when it's needed and it isn't for YT.
