nothing you will just have a higher breaking strength line on your real. 30# braid is roughly the same as 8#mono as far as diameter goes

It is more important to check the max LB line on the Rod! The reel is NP.

I would think it could cause some trouble. But if you set the drag for the line that is recommended, I'd think you'd be fine. I put 20# braid on a couple rods that are not recommended for that heavy line but I also use leader that is much lighter. 10# leader and try to set the drag well under 10#. I did not go to braid for the strength but rather for finer line and limper line. By using lighter leader I don't over max the drag on the reel,,, I think!

Well..... It'll hold fewer yards.
