Was thinking about using 30lb fluoro but my LFS says 50lb mono is fine since the rockfish are so deep. Going on my buddies boat to Ventura but I’ll be using this setup on my kayak.

Braid directly to your leader. If you're going to use a swivel, put it where you attach your sinker. Most of your line twist happens as you're reeling in. I always pedal while I'm reeling in to keep my bait behind my leader.
