I use braid all the time for them, I don't grab the line to bring them in anyway. I use a Calcutta 700 with 65lb braid and a light wire (Knot2Kinky brand) about two feet long.
Works like a champ.

Live or dead bait under a big float about 3" under the surface.

Match your hook size to your bait -- 3/0 for smaller macs up to 7/0 for bigger models. If you're using circle hooks to prevent gut hooking, you can increase the hook size a little depending on brand to make sure the gap is wide enough.
For dead bait you can up the hook size pretty much to whatever you want, but I don't think there's really much need to go bigger than 4/0 or 5/0.

Again, I would stay away from using braid on a kayak too much risk. Using braid on a boat is good, especially if you hooked 200lb T shark.
I just don't see any advantage of using braided line on a kayak for fishing threshers. Threshers pull real hard and can yank the rod right out of your hands. I like the stretch on the monofilament. I hooked a thresher last week using 50lb main mono line with a 80lb mono leader. Worked like a champ!
