Wrong thread for this but most of us use 17lb sufix Tritanium Plus MONO with a 50 to 80 lb shock(casting) leader
I would guess your braid is breaking because of abrasion. Think of all the shells and stuff it gets rubbed across during a day of fishing.
I only have braid on my reels for when I am sharking in the summer. I like the added line capacity and ability to put 50lb line on my MAG 525's. Even then I still fill the top of the reel with Mono.
