I fished an awful long time using 20# Ande. Mostly 'cos it was cheap and worked. When Braids showed up I put 30# Fireline on the squidder (Bait setup) and fell in love. The spinners that didn't twist it got the same treatment. There were adjustment to make; No more Hercules hooksets, didn't need them to overcome stretch and drag settings became way more important. Without the stretch of mono, the fish have something to work against that is almost solid unlike the rubber band mono. But! I have found that the stretch is sometimes very desireable when plugging. I get a much better "Walk the Dog" with mono than with braid. The mono's stretch does much of the work when you get in the rhythm. It also gives a hop/leap action to lead jigs on the bottom and Bombers' swimming. They both have their places and that's probably why I have so much gear.
