I use mono for bait fishing with conventional reels from the surf (15#, 17# or 20#) with 40-50# shock leaders. On my spinning reels, 95% braid. Fireline & whiplash are my favorites. Spectra is more fickle on my spinners, but I use PP on my fw reels. I hate line twist on spinners, so I pretty much stoppped using mono except for spooling up back up spools or to use mono on UL trout reels.
As for all lures including jigs, wood, metal, etc., it's plain awesome. Once I learned how to manage my line better (e.g. howling wind, pencil popping), wind knots disappeared, even with spectra.
