I think we are confusing him Dropbear, because I suggested to have the braid underneath and the mono on top. Basically just using it for line capacity for the drone. 

Reason being I think braid is to dangerous for a beginner, cheaper to replace after many snags and more forgiving while learning how to play/angle a fish, easier to tie knots in. There is a very good chance he will come across large sting rays and if one of them taking line at speed with braid things can go wrong. I have a Tilca reel that the braid was a loose on when I placed it in the rod holder and fishing another rod. However a lapse in concentration while trying to use 2 rods, I did not notice the braid had over run a little and was caught under the handle knob. A Spanish mackerel took the bait and the braid cut through the rubber handle knob like butter. Hate to think what it would have done to someones hand or finger in the same situation.

Just my personal opinion.

yikes!

I will be careful....
