Back again halibutralph,
Fishslayer's good points reminded me of what I had forgot to mention. One, the diameter/line test of most of the braids and co-whatevers are off the scale. Example: Power pro's 30lb has the diameter of an average mono's 6lb test. The point is that a thinner line diameter means less resistance, thus the currents or swing will not cause the line to be carried as much as thicker diameter lines. Two, some and I say some of the braids have a density heavier than saltwater as opposed to freshwater. They don't float like most monofiliment.
I don't know what kind of a rod you're using for the pier but if you have a stout carbon or boron composite rod, not only will it give you good lifting power but you can use the FULL ADVANTAGE of sensitivity that a no stretch line and a carbon composite rod could give you. With that, you could feel an anchovie burp or somethin'.
