20# is on the heavy side for bass from a boat. Normally I use no more than 15#, but my drags are set at 5-6# and my knots are vg. FWIW, we caught a bunch of sbft to 25# (Boga) on 12-15# mono. We got them to the boat and back on their way in 10 minutes.

30# braid should work out well for you on that reel. You'll have to fight the bigger fish with the rod butt though.

Best regards,
Roger
