braid for spinning and bait casting

[Gh05t]

Good day
I am totally a newbie, I got this braid for free from a carp fisherman friend.
I would like to know if this braid is going to work for seawater and if the 15lb would be right
or do I need 25lb to 30lb braid.
Looking to catch edibles

I see that some braid dont cast as good as other, which braid would you recomment,
please keep in mind I am on a tight budget.
I am looking at buying the Okumo azores 55 and have a 12' Loomis & Franklin Archipelago XH HMG rod
Thanks for any advice

Best braid - free.
Real world specs on that braid is .25mm / PE2 and actual strength around 25lb.

It will work just fine.
You will need a heavier braid leader for casting lures/sinlkers over 1.5oz though.

What I suggest is to wind all the braid onto the reel (it will be a bit empty) then fill it up with some .30mm mono and then reverse the whole thing.

I would also like to add that the Azores Z55S sucks for spinning. I have one and I really don't like it - its my guest reel for bait fishing.  It lacks the finesse you require for the awesome Archipelago.   Save your cash and buy the Shimano Sedona C5000XG - available from Ganis for R1075.  Even the Rovex Big Boss3 in the 6000 is a much nicer reel - promise you!
