Bob, its one of those things where I believed you, but still thought in the back of my mind, can it really make that big of a difference? Not big enough to bother mid season. It can and it does.

A bunch of times i just felt that little subtle -tick- and then nothing. With the mono, I'd bet I wouldn't even have known there was a fish there.

The new outfit is sweet and just feels great with the braid. You and I, we gonna tangle... yeah, if you thought I've forgotten some of the drubbings I took last season... eh eh. You've gotta give a rematch out on your court once the fish make it north.

Its those hits when the line is slack that I know you just don't feel with mono and like you said, a bit of wind, maybe fishing in a bit deeper water. Fishing those things weightless, you're right on top so you often see the hit or a swirl. When I started fishing the jerkbaits weighted and down in the water column, that was tough.
