sounds good, but I would also go with a lighter line. Lighter line equals longer casts.

30# Fireline has equivalent diameter to 20# mono, despite what the label claims. You're not going to get a lot of it on a 460. I'd try 14# or 20# instead.

If it were me the Penn would be replaced with a new Stratic 5000 spooled with Power Pro if braid is a must.
Good Luck
Chris
