Well I dont normally respond to questions like this because everyone has an opinion but will state my case for mono.

I actually use Yo-zuri Hybrid 25lb (mono-flouro hybrid) and have only lost 10 or so out of an estimated 300-400 fish from break-offs in the rocky areas/points here in Plymouth. And have to say the break-offs were my fault, not the lines. I tried braid in 2000 and was broke off in the rocks on my second hook-up of a large bass while using it. After visiting a few friends in NC that were using Yo-Zuri Hybrid fishing the OBX I never looked back.

I guess it all depends what application and enviornment you are using the line in. Rocky Shorelines - MONO.....Sandy Beaches - Braid....Jigging - Braid.

I did see the video from SWE and its pretty interesting. Needless to say I will fish mono until I find something better for the nasty stretch of shoreline I fish.
