I would definately bump it up to at least 40# for the leader...and more importantly....check it often. Pinch it between your fingers and run them down the leader, if you feel burrrrrrrrs, cut & re-tie. I normally make longer leaders and cut off as needed. When the leader gets shorter than I'd like,,,, time for a new leader.

Scratch the surgeons knot - that's a line-to-line connection that is really not for braid to mono. It's a fly fishing tippet knot that supposed to be used for two lines that are close to the same diameter.
Use a palomar knot to attach a 100# swivel then an improved clinch knot for the leader - both ends.

Same as me except I use a 150 swivel. I have a hard time tying the palomar in mono over 30.
