You'll be fine with braid, just remember to adjust the spool tension and brakes when you switch lures. Other thing, pretend you are fly fishing and clear the deck. Hitting something behind you while casting will really mess your day up. I pulled an Indiana Jones move today.... Twice.
If you find the braid to be a pain, just reel it onto one of your trolling reels and fill with 12 or 15lb mono, something kind of soft. When you start out stick to casting lures that are at least 3/4 ounce. Should help!
The tip about dropping the lure and checking if it birdnests is the way to go!Used to fish more.

I always adjust my bait caster by holding the rod horizonally and letting the lure freefall to the ground. I adjust the bearing so that the spool stops rotating when the lure hits. This keeps me from having "bird nests" and still allows for good casting distance.
I use 10 # power pro on my light tackle reels.
Good Luck,John
