For mooching applications I use mono and I would continue to use mono. A 20 lb or 25 lb test are what I use. Occasionally, I use a 12 lb test. Typically, I use Trilene Big Game or Maxima, but there are other brand out there that would probably fare better. I use Suffix for some of my spin applications and I find it is a superior mono, but I've never used it in the larger tests (17lb+) or in salt.
If you are planning on using downriggers there will probably be some discussion about braid, but for mooching I would stick to mono. I've never played around with braid on downriggers, so I don't hold an opinion there. There may be some advantages to using braid in this application, I don't know.
