I'm with you here chumley....I fished 20 lb braid exclusivly last year. Loved the strength and small diameter, but found windknots and end wrap to be a real pain when fishing a slow presentation of if there was a breeze. I also am concerned with visability on lakes like Quannipaug where the top of the water column seems to be really clear..... I spooled my pitchin and jiggin rod recently with some 25lb Berkley big game mono and like the feel while casting in the backyard trying out the new stick..... However, if I break off during the season, I most certainly will go back to braid for strength concerns.... I am interested in the opinion of others on going all mono for the rest of my rigs or staying braid for cranking and worming......Would most say 14 lb mono on baitcasting and 10lb on spinning? Thanks for any advise.... Brennan

I rely pretty heavily on mono, and light mono at that. When fishing in weedy areas and lakes, I usually go for 8-10 pound, and don't experience *too* many breakoffs, ultralight on rivers is 4-6, baitcaster is 14-20, all Mono tho. I never really liked braid and such, plus the mono is nice and cheap, whenever it starts looking ratty I just pull it off and put fresh line on. I know a lot of guys here do subscribe to the obscenely high test rule tho, so I'll wait for them to chime in :lol:
