dont get me wrong, i like mono. my largest fish have come on mono... like this one on 6lb test   (You need to Login or Register

but i think that has to do more with presentation than line. most of my biggest fish have come on small lures, light line, finesse fishing. i think if i spent the same amount of time using large lures on braid as i do small lures on mono my percentages would even out but who knows.

on a similar thought, i have not tried mono or flouro carbon line on the current rod/reel combo that i use. when i first started using a bait caster i used a really stiff rod and a cheap reel. not a good combo to learn how to cast. so i had lots of issues and i originally started with mono on that setup. maybe this spring ill try mono/flourocarbon on one of my setups as i have 2 identical ones. then i can fish them with identical lures and come to a conclusion from that!
