Mono will work, but not as well.

I used to jig with 10kg nylon which was like a bungy cord. Had to work alot harder to get the jig to move right but still caught plenty of fish.

Half of the fun for my when jigging for kings is getting slammed around when they first hit the jig with braid, pretty brutal (and fun ), you dont get the same thing with mono.

Personally, id got with 30lb braid and stuff the IGFA rules. I dont know if I would go to 50lb with that reel, havnt had much experience with them, but I suspect if you did things would start falling to bits pretty quick. Mono wont be so tough on your gear.

Be veeeeeerrrrrryyyyyyyyy careful though. Once you take up jigging, everything else seems pretty boring, and its hard to stop buyng all the nice shiny gear
