Pros? for braid not many...mostly hype...Braid is terrible around rocks and reefs, braid is difficult to tie knots with, braid can cut your finger off if your not carefull, Braid sinks to fast for most aplications, its best suited for sandy beaches and even then isnt needed...Its best aplication is for deep jigging , fluke fishing etc..No one has "done better" off the beach because they use braid over mono, its all in there heads..
Mono is proven for many, many many years of reliability, Mono has landed far more fish than braid, mono has caught plenty of bass, mono is more forgiving around rocks and structure, mono is more forgiving on Conventional tackle...Mono just plain has proven itself time and time again.Mono is less expensive than braid, Mono is easier to handle than braid.
Braid is like cement it has great lateral strength but poor tensile strentgh...Braid is strong on the Pull but is cut like butter when dragged over rocks etc...Some guys say they have much more line capacity....its BS Because it doesnt matter...No bass will spool a reel filled with mono any easier than they will braid...
My personal experiance is at least 1000 shore caught bass each season when I heavily surfed fished up to 2 years ago, many of those where good sized fish, the braid craze just didnt hold water.
Be carefull becaus alot of guys will try and sell you swamp land in Florida if you let them...You will do fine with Mono
