Hope you don't like your fingers to much. King fishing with braid can end painfully.

yup same as mono...mono will cut ya if you dont know how to use a manual reel
I don't have any experience with that brand, but I do recommend Power Pro SUPER SLICK 8-strand if you are going to attempt king fishing with braid.
At least it is smooth and wont cut you and other people's lines on a King run.
Regular braid, I would never recommend for Kings no matter how seasoned of a fisherman.
If line capacity is all you want, then at least put 50 yards of top shot over the braid so that when your line is close to the pier, you'll have more give on the fish and less tangles in others' lines, etc. Braid in the spool isn't so much a problem as it is when dealing with zero stretch right at the rock.
Thanks, i already use the slick 8 as a backing, and dont care for it very much at all, i like the jerry brown because it is very soft and not coated, and i'm aware about the no stretch, which can be solved by running a lighter drag, capacity is one plus, but i also like a few more things about it. Will mainly be using it to throw plugs
I'v fished several braids, both as a backing and as a mainline. not wanting to have a mono topshot on this particular setup,
