Ok so I'm contemplating making the switch. I have fished Mono my entire life with decent success. I went bottom fishing (from a boat) the other week and tried power pro and was amazed at the feel and strength of the line. So my question is.

• Is braid only good for boats or do people use it surfcasting?

• If you get hung up on the bottom with braid is the lack of stretch good or bad?

• Do you use a fluro carbon leader with braid? and if so does it negate the feel of the braid.

I'm sure this has been discussed before so forgive me if we rehash.
