By anchor, do you mean a conventional anchor?
If you are on a tandem I don't recommend an anchor. They don't play nice with two people and their different senses of balance. Let one person fish while the other paddles to keep you in the spot.

X2 I was about to say the same thing. Even with one person, Ive always considered an anchor in the ocean on a kayak an iffy practice. Sometimes you get an unexpected surge and if that anchor line is too tight it could cause trouble.

And to answer your question about the braid/floro, yes use a floro leader. 30- 40#
