this should help. if you use a 5oz weight you want at least 30 ft of 50lb braid and so on, 10 to 1 ratio

so if i have 20lb braid on now get about 10 yards of 50lb braid on that and then my surf leader?

you always need roughly 30ft of braid, or just enough to wrap around spool a few times. Then double uni-knot that into the mono. 20lb braid would be fine for a 2 0z weight. if you used 3 oz you would want 30lb braid and so on.
