Here's a set-up I've come to really like. Braid -> Red Phillipsknot 30 lb mono -> double Uni 50 lb leader.
The 30 lb mono transition is 10-15 feet long, to a 5' leader. The red phillips knot on the small mono passes through the guides like butter. The double uni stays outside the guides.
The set up gives me all the casting advantages of braid, and a good deal of abrasion resistance in the rocks with 20' of mono.
If an extra knot scares you, then don't do it. But if you are confident in your knot skills, give it a try. If I need to retie, it's fast enough on the rocks at night.
