Also be sure to back spool with some cheap mono in like #15 or you'll get braid slip. Backs pool about 1/3 of the spool. You flouro leader should be so that the knot is in-between the reel and first guide.

30 lb power pro, 20 lb invisx.
The light stuff works great in open water, but for boat docks and heavy timber, it is just asking for heartbreak.
Trial and error brought me to this combo. I still get tickled listening to all they guys talk about getting broke off fishing shakeyheads. Funny, I haven't broke off a single fish in the last 3 1/2 years since I went to this combo.
Set the hook first, ask questions later!!!
