At the very least I would be using 20 lb braid. 90% of the time I use 30 lb fireline. For leaders I generally use 40-50 lb mono. Save the 8lb test for the bass pond. These are big fish, and jetties can be very punishing on your tackle. You can find 20-30lb braid with the same diameter as 8 lb mono, if distance is the issue. Go heavier or you will be heart broken.
