If the 30lb works and it is safe then ok. Powerful techniques used overseas and here will cause a break not because of strength but simply the power that is built up by technique. The lead is travelling outside the rod tip with a pendulum or OTG so must go faster causing the greater strain on the shock leader than just over the top. The power archs are so much greater when the rod is brought through in a flat plane.
