Hate to break the news to you, but 50 years ago almost no one used mono.
Most of the top guys used conventionals with 50# Dacron, or 54# braided nylon. Which doesn't stretch either. And with the drags on their Squidders locked, and Harnell rods that were as stiff as any of today's graphites.
Braid isn't new. Braids with 50# strength and .015" diameter are new. You could straighten hooks as easily on Dacron as you can on Power Pro.
