They're not. More like 15-17# mono. The published "mono equivalency" of most braids is right up there with the typical bait and switch car dealer's ad in pure BS.
The proof is in how many yards you can get on a reel that has a known capacity for mono. Except for the original Whiplash by Berkley, I've never found any brand of braid that's as thin as advertised
Good example. An Abu 7000 has a known capacity of around 300 yards of 20# mono. 65# Sufix and PP both claim to have 16# mono equivalency. Try getting a full 300 yard spool of either on an Abu 7000
