Hey welcome to BFT! First of all I would like to ask where you are from? Then on the line I think you may have over done it. Also something to think about. Braid is good but is mainly designed for trolling. If you out braid in your reels put some mono on as a backing so that the braid doesn't ruin the spool on your reel. Go with the 15 lb braid for the fish you are wanting to catch. If you feel you need the 50 lb braid get a more stout rod and reel. Also for Muskie get some steel leaders, they have teeth and will bite through most lines. You might find the fluorocarbon lines may work for you as well. Easier to cast too. The rod you chose is a good one and will serve you quite well.
