I use braid on my rigger and recently switched to Pro-Release II. It takes a little getting used to but I no longer have the unintentional releases due to line or pad contamination (e.g.,scent) that occurred with the Scotty release. You should easily be able to use the 30# braid. BTW, I also crimp on a safety harness onto the release so if the big clip that attaches to the rigger line comes off, you won't lose the clip. It is a mono line, about 8 inches that is attached to the clip (with crimped loop) and the other end is a coastlok clip that is attached to the rigger line but is able to slide freely up and down. I can send picture if you want.
