IMO 80 JB is overkill on a spinning rod- Like f4s said, the breaking strength of 60 JB is ~90 lb. You won't break it even if the drag is set to approximately 20 lb, and I'd prefer to have the extra line. But that's just me.
But definitely learn how to splice the hollowcore and make a few wind-on leaders. 80lb flouro would do the ticket.
