Braid is not too much of a problem on spinning gear, but it can cost you some gear on conventional, at least until you know your limits...or your reels. Unless you have a well educated thumb or have the reel's anti-backlash control set perfect an occassional backlash is likely. My experience with 30/6 spiderwire is that it's very likely you might loose what's on the business end if you backlash during a hard cast.
Ironic, because if you snag and wrap the line around a billy club (don't use your hands if you value them) and back the boat up using the trolling motor, it's damn hard to break the stuff and I'll bet it's breaking closer to 75lbs. Good advice on the feeling out the reel if you've had a backlash, go easy on the next cast.
