What braid to use on a Shimano sustain 4000 reel on a Majorcraft 7.8ft rod

Hi all,

 

I have no idea of what braid I should be putting on this rod an reel, I would appreciate some feedback on what brand braid, PE ?, and 20lb or 15lb ?

 

I've used the search function before making this thread and wasn't able to find anything specific or recent.

 

The rod spec's are

Length(ft):7'8"

Lure(g):5-20

Line(lb):4-10

PELine: 0.6 - 1.2

 

Reel:  Shimano sustain 4000 FG

 

Thank you in andance

At that length I would think you would be casting off a beach, if so, a larger diameter spool would probably cast better, at least a 5000 size+
