Braid sounds like a better bet for the type of baitfishing you do. Thinner diameter and no water absorption, so your unweighted hook will stay down better. For a spinning reel, assuming no rocks or other sharp nasties, I like 20# Fireline. I tried 65# Spiderwire Stealth for the first time last night, and I don't care what the label says, this stuff is THICK!!!! About as thick as 20-25# mono and waaaaayyyy thicker than 65# Whiplash, the line it replaced.
Bass can swallow a chicken lobster whole, as well as stuff like flounder, scup, choggies, fluke, and crabs the size of a coffee cup's diameter. A treble will gut hook bass if you let them run with the bait too long.
