Gday and thanks for registering.
Although the reel will hold 1000m of line, it is usually recommended to put a few hundred meters of backing first. It is alright to use backing of equal or slightly higher size than the line.
From there, I'm sure your husband would like the braided line over mono. I would recommend the Power Pro brand if they have it over there. White color will work and they may have it in lbs or Kgs.
If they have it in Lbs then the 50 should be fine for all the fishing that you described. If it is in KGs then the 22 or 24kg would be quite alright.
Be sure to put at least 500 or 600m of quality backing. Your local tackle store should have a selection for you to choose from.
Good luck and Gday.
Please come back to let us know how he likes it and perhaps a fishing report or 2.[
