The braids certainly do vary in abrasion resistance by brand.
Mike, I totally disagree. I had nightmares on the Block 3 or 4 years ago with braid. I resolved never to go out to "Rock heaven" again with braid. I have been using mono out there for the last 2 years without a break off. Same in the Bay as I fish very rocky points. Now that's not to say that I wouldn't have lost fish with mono. I am saying that in my opinion mono has it allover braid for abrasion resistance especially certain mono. Back when I fished with "he who cannot be mentioned" we fished nothing but Ande Back Country and never had break offs.

No boat, back in the suds.
