Even used some Big Game mono off my bulk spool (60 and 80#) and while softer then then leader material it also works. IMO there is NO avantage. However if you think there is and it gives you that mental edge then by all means go for it. But when the price approaced a buck a yard I said...I think this is insane for line and started using other materials.
That said I still use it on my fly rod and light spin gear for bonito for two reasons, one it gives me that mental edge when bonito fishing and two the lighter stuff is MUCH cheaper per yard.

I don't know why the price of FLoro is so high, you know they produce that stuff by the mile, I would love to know what the margins are on floro and regular line.

Yup
