The Block is a lot of rock and rubble and barnacles so I lost fish and plugs due to line breaking, fraying, etc. This was fresh 50# Suffix 832. I have since bought extra spools for my reels and now have one loaded with braid and one loaded with mono for all my reels. Same with the conventionals except it's one reel with mono and one with braid.

This has been my view for years. I totally agree and I had a similar experience using 50lb braid on BI a few years ago.
