30 pound braid with a 25 pound mono leader. If I'm jigging I use a mono top shot. If dragging bait then just use mono for the hook leader.

I use 20lb braid, and will do a short 20lb mono leader in the bay, heavy structure usually do a longer 30 or 40lb mono top shot

Id say 95% of my conventionals are loaded with 50# pp and add a topshot accordingly... I don't like adding backing and haven't got the opportunity to get on of the smaller super reels to downgrade yet... thats just me, and I don't mind, cuz one time at fish camp I caught this ray...!

Use the lightest thinnest braid I can. so I can fish the lightest bucktail for the drift.
I use berkeley NANO in both 14 and 17 pound.

followed by a 50# top shot( about 12' long) to take the abuse the rough stuff dishes out.
