Put on at least as much as the gun's max range.
I would use at least 200 pound test or more. Its not that you are going to shoot a 200 pound fish, but that you will lose maybe half the rated strength when you crimp the line. Also, line gets frayed on rocks and loses strength. I use 400 pound test.
Shore diving vs boat diving is almost irrelevant. After all, the new world record white sea bass, 93 pounds, was taken this summer by a shore diver.
I suppose the gun is relevant though. I don't know what JBL model you have, but its unlikely you will shoot a very large fish. But still use at least 200.
