Nib - I know where you are coming from and I use braid almost exclusively now. I was brought up on rag line on a sqidder when there was no mono. We used Assinippe line and loved it.
I like Yozuri for braid better than big game - had less problems using it over big game before going to power pro. I now spool up with PP and use a LONG shock leader to allow for decent hooksets with out tearing the jig or plug out of the fishes mouth. It also gives me the stretch on a long cast that is not there with power pro. As for plugging, I still like the power pro and long leader setup.
525 penn with 65lb PP and youzuri shock in the ditch jiggin. You cannot feel the bottom with mono as well as you can with braid! 7000CL Abu with 50lb PP and flouro leader for plugs in the ditch. 40lb. PP on pro rocket and a 20lb leader for plugs off the surf. All my stuff is conventional.
