sounds like a good plan. you may not need the 30# mono from the beach. i use it because i fish around some rocky areas. i also like the extra measure of easyness knowing i have the heavy line. i figure since the reel can handle it, why not use it!
the $14 for the spool seems good. since they did a service on it, what was performed? did they go through everything? new drag washers are the first thing that i would suggest. check the invoice and make sure they did that! if not, get them changed over. let us know how the reel works out! good luck!
