If you guys are willing to endure all this, what the jimminy am I missing? I've no problems at all with the mono. Why would one bother?
Not trying to be argumentative, just wondering why bother?

Getting set up with a conventional and am seriously considering braid (PP). seems like braid is designed with a tilt towards conventional more than spinning,,,,, but couldbe wrong.
What say you?

Why.. Ok talking spinning ..1 braid has no memory like mono so it goes straight out thru the guides (no choking).. Huge atvantage in casting distance ,fishing heavier pound test ,while using lures that are very light.(bomber types).. 2. the feel ... no strech .. you can feel the hits and every little viration like the fish is in your hands. I have absolutely no problem with these lines on spinning gear and in fact love it .. Only draw back to these high tech lines is fishing rocks ..Under tension (fish) there are no see saw battles on the rocks .. line breaks quite easily . Mono still king of the rock pile .
