I have my larger offshore reels loaded with Momoi mono. I have converted all my other inshore convential reels to braid now. I was wondering, beyond the expense of it, would (do) you guys load 50's 50W's with braid? I was thinking I could get a lot more line on there with say 65# test PP then 60# mono and get a better hookset with PP. I have not spooled one to a fish yet but I have come close a couple times when I have not been able to get to it for a few moments even with modest fish.
