I wanted to test test mono vs braid- So i tested both using same reel and rod and mono by far outcasted the braid wasnt even close. using a penn 965 and a penn 550 spinner. Using same weight 1oz-- both reels using braid must hav casted 50yds further- i couldnt tell because mono would clear the tree tops and braid would land at about 125-150yds. I think mono is more slippere. know i dont know what to use I am a boat fisherman and wanted to prove to my self that barid was better but cant know. Ill keep testing next test is abraision test. Braid wins the not test tying a simple polmar knot the line snaps every time before the knot- mono using a improved clinch or clinch or polmar knots the knots break about 2-5% of the time. ill find the best for me but what is write for me might not be right for you
