Most of mine are spooled 2/3 80lb dacron and then a chinese finger splice into 80 lb momoi. This is the same way that we do the 80's and 130's.
Last season I did 2 new ones with 130lb master braid with the loop to loop to 100yd 80lb diamond topshots from Basil. I felt lazy buying premade top-shots but they really are quick and easy.
I also make sure to wet-pack the reels whenever we respool. I don't know if its really critical with the 50's, but its absoluete with the bigger gear - now its just habit.
